Martin Perez is back on the hill Friday night.
The Boston Red Sox pitcher enters the contest sporting a 2-3 record with a 3.45 ERA across his first six stats. Perez racked up 23 strikeouts in 31 1/3 inning so far while walking 15.
The lefty enters the squad's series opener against the Washington Nationals after a no decision in his last outing in which he tossed seven brilliant innings while allowing just one run and striking out six Baltimore Orioles.
