Cionel Perez Earns First Save Of Season Monday
1 year agoBaltimore Orioles relief pitcher Cionel Perez earned his first save of the season and second save of his career in Monday's 3-2 win over the Phillies. Perez came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth up by one. He got the first two outs on a groundout and lineout, allowed a single and a walk, and got the final out on a groundout. The O's closer, Felix Bautista had pitched in four of the team's last five games, so he was unavailable to close this one out. Perez has not been able to replicate his stellar 2022 season and now has a 4.54 ERA with a 5.35 BB/9 rate. He may be able to help the O's continue their winning ways, but he offers little fantasy value at this time.
