Martín Pérez scattered six hits and allowed one run with two walks and five strikeouts across six innings in a 3-2 win over the Brewers on Friday.

In a matchup between two pitchers who could not be more diametrically different in terms of pitching style, Pérez outdueled Jacob Misiorowski here to earn the win. Whereas Misiorowski’s fastball averaged 102 mph, Pérez did not throw a single pitch harder than 90 mph. Instead, his changeup forced seven whiffs and he worked the edges of the zone beautifully with that, his sinker, and his cutter to keep the Brewers’ hitters off-balance all night. He now has a 2.78 ERA through 73 innings this season as a true savior to the Braves’ beleaguered rotation. Next up, Pérez is scheduled to face the Padres on the road.
