Quality in final outing of 2022 Perez (12-8) got the loss after he pitched six innings, surrendering one run on five hits and five walks while striking out two Monday versus the Yankees.
Impact Perez finished his season on a high note, limiting the Yankees to one run over six frames. The only blemish on his line came in the top of the fifth frame when Kyle Higashioka notched an RBI single. Perez snagged a third straight quality start and he produced five of them over his final six outings of the season overall. The left-hander will finish the campaign with a 2.89 ERA and 1.26 WHIP with 169 strikeouts over 32 starts in 2022.

Allows three runs in loss Perez (12-7) was tagged with the loss against Seattle on Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three batters over seven innings.
Impact Perez gave up two runs in the first inning and another in the third before settling down and finishing with four scoreless frames. The left-hander got little run support, however, and ended up with the loss despite tossing his fourth quality start in five September outings. Perez will need to pick up a win in his final start of the season to tie his career-best total of 13, but he's already racked up a career high in strikeouts (167) and is essentially guaranteed to end with his best marks in ERA (currently at 2.93) and WHIP (currently at 1.25).

Turns in quality start Perez allowed three earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five across six innings Thursday against the Angels. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Perez allowed all three of his earned runs in the third inning after allowing four consecutive hitters to reach base with two outs. He's had a few blowup outings since the All-Star break but has still turned in six quality starts in his last eight outings. For the season, Perez has maintained an impressive 2.90 ERA with a 164:61 K:BB across 183.1 innings on the campaign.

Picks up ugly win Perez (12-6) earned the win against the Rays on Friday, allowing three runs on nine hits while striking out three and walking one over 5.1 innings.
Impact Despite giving up nine hits and a walk while striking out only three batters, Perez limited the damage to three runs, which the Rangers' offense was able to overcome. Perez tossed 58 of 91 pitches for strikes across 5.1 frames, missing out on a quality start after picking up two in his last two starts. The lefty earned the win, but also saw his ERA worsen to a still impressive 2.84.

Strikes out seven in tough loss Perez (9-4) gave up two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out seven over six innings to take the loss in a 2-1 defeat against the Twins on Friday.
Impact Perez pitched well on the road in Minnesota, racking up seven punchouts despite only garnering five swinging strikes. His five-pitch mix kept batters guessing and taking called third strikes. Despite being saddled with the loss, it was Perez's 16th quality start of the year. The runs he surrendered came on back-to-back solo jacks in the first inning off the bats of Luis Arraez and Jose Miranda. Perez is putting together the best season of his decade-long career and has a 2.8 Fangraphs WAR to go along with an ERA of 2.79. He is tentatively expected to make his next start at Colorado.

He will take a 2.79 ERA into his next appearance.

Falls apart in loss Perez (9-3) took the loss Tuesday in Houston, allowing seven runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two in five innings.
Impact Perez retired the Astros in order over the first three innings but struggled to record outs after that. In the fourth, he lost control and walked three batters before giving up a two-out grand slam to Aledmys Diaz. Houston tacked on two more runs in the fifth and, after giving up a single and a double to start the sixth, Perez was removed. The poor outing snapped a run of four consecutive starts where the lefty allowed only one earned run.

Impact Perez kept the Angels off the board for five innings before they scraped together a run in the sixth. This was the third straight start in which the southpaw's allowed only one run, and he's given up 10 hits and nine walks in that stretch. The 31-year-old has put together an impressive campaign in his second stint with the Rangers, logging a 2.52 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 107:35 K:BB across 125 innings in 20 starts. He's projected for a home start versus the Orioles next week.

Impact Perez was tagged for 13 runs in 18.2 innings across his last three starts. He limited hits better Thursday, but he matched a season high with four walks and threw only 59 of 102 pitches for strikes.

Perez closed out the first half of the campaign with a 2.68 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 95:30 K:BB in 111 innings across 18 starts. He's been a pleasant surprise for the Rangers, which earned him his first All-Star nod.

Gives up six runs Perez did not factor into the decision against the Twins on Saturday, allowing six runs on seven hits while striking out five and walking one over six innings.
Impact Perez threw 61 of 97 pitches for strikes in Saturday's outing, his worst since a four-run appearance on June 27. It was just the third time this season that the lefty allowed more than three runs in a game. However, it could be a sign of things to come for Perez, since his xFIP sits at 3.72 and his SIERA sits at 3.86 compared to his 2.72 ERA.
