"Austin Riley sparked the offense with a pair of homers, giving him three in the last two games after he had none through 18 games this season."
"Pérez escaped the first-inning jam he put himself in with a hit-by-pitch, single and walk with a strikeout of Edmundo Sosa on an elevated fastball and by inducing a J.T. Realmuto flyout to left."
"Through four games (three starts) this season, the veteran has allowed five runs over 20 1/3 innings for a 2.21 ERA."
