Pérez Shuts Door, Braves Rally | Atlanta Braves News

Martín Pérez delivered a masterclass on the mound, tossing seven scoreless innings to lead the Braves to a 3-1 win over the Rays and snap a three-game skid—while also turning up the heat in the clubhouse with salsa music. The offense exploded in the eighth, fueled by clutch RBIs from Austin Riley and Ha-Seong Kim, and a triple from Ozzie Albies (who started on the bench). The victory not only extended Atlanta’s division lead to 3.5 games but also showcased resilience after recent pitching woes and injuries—including Bryce Elder’s knee surgery. Pérez’s bounce-back performance, following a rough outing against the Phillies, proved pivotal: he escaped a bases-loaded jam early and reminded everyone why he’s a key piece in this playoff race.
