Martin Perez has certainly been one of the main stories of this Rangers season thus far. Heading into this game he was 4-0 with a 1.42 ERA, had thrown back-to-back shutouts, and had a 26 inning scoreless streak. That scoreless streak did not last long as the A’s scored 2 in the first on their way to scoring 8 runs off of Perez. I will have to say that I don’t have too much to say about this game. I did not get a chance to watch the game. I was at work last night and was watching the Thunder playoff game. I will say though that it was going to happen eventually that Perez was going to have a bad start. He had just faced the A’s last week and they were bound to make adjustments from their approach in that game. I do find it disappointing that Perez did not pitch better or make any in-game adjustments. I find it also disappointing that the Rangers lost these last two games with their best pitchers on the mound. This loss makes it 4 of the last 5 for the Rangers. Their record falls to 15-12 and they are two games back of the A’s. Today is a big game as they will be needing to snap out of this mini-funk. It will be Robbie Ross JR. going against Jesse Chavez.
