Pérez’s 18-Inning Streak Lights Up Braves | MLB News

Martín Pérez is on fire for the Braves, tossing his third straight shutout and extending his scoreless streak to 18 innings—tying him with elite company behind only Rasmussen and Alcantara. He’s thriving by attacking hitters early and letting his sinker do the work, making his changeup even more deceptive. While the game obsesses over strikeouts, Pérez’s success comes from pitching to contact and trusting his defense, earning him praise as an unsung hero. The Braves’ rotation has been unstoppable in August, posting a 2.08 ERA and 1.02 WHIP, and they’ve gotten at least six innings from starters nearly every time since the trade deadline—clearly fueled by newfound motivation.
