Brayan Perez of the Baltimore Orioles was on fire against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field today. He shut them out 1-0 on 5 hits, collecting 6 strikeouts and allowing 1 walk.
“The first two pitches I’m looking for an out, a ground ball or a fly ball,” Perez said later. “I’m trying to get quick outs. I’ve never been a big believer in trying to strike a guy out from the very first pitch. It’s too easy to end up behind in the count doing that.”
This season Perez has compiled a 2-3 mark, 5.72 ERA and made 6 starts.
