Cionel Pérez - Picks up first savePerez earned the save, allowing a walk and a hit in the ninth inning of a 10-7 win Sunday in Kansas City.
ImpactPerez wasn't at his best, throwing only 12 of his 23 pitches for strikes, but got the job done to record his first big-league save. Jorge Lopez had pitched in consecutive games so Perez got the opportunity to close it out in a three-run game. Despite his 1.36 WHIP, the lefty has limited runs and has a 0.98 ERA in 18.1 innings.

It was the second three-hit game of his big-league career and first since 2019. The 27-year-old started at shortstop after playing second base in his season debut Saturday. With Ramon Urias (oblique) out and Jorge Mateo slumping, Martin could see some regular playing time if he continues to produce at the plate.
