With what Martín Pérez has done so far on his return to the Texas Rangers, we are going to have to rethink that saying: “Old parrot does not learn to speak.” The one from Guanare is simply living the best moment of his already long career in the Major Leagues.
In his start last Sunday once morest the Seattle Mariners, the Venezuelan left-hander joins a short three-man roster that includes immortal legends Walter Johnson and Bob Gibson.
This triumvirate is the only one since 1913, the time when RBIs became a formal statistic, to have run a streak of 8 straight starts in which they did not allow home runs, completing at least 6.0 innings in each, they did not lose a game. any and received 1 earned run or less, according to the prestigious statistical analysis group, STATS Inc.
Everything remains between Venezuelans, because Pérez’s streak was broken by his countryman Eugenio Suárez, who disappeared a curve at 77.4 miles in the fourth inning; eventually the Rangers gave up 10 innings.
Martin’s season is so splendid that at the moment, with 1.56 he is number 1 in ERA at the highest level of the sport of bats, gloves and balls.
Our home run leader, Eugenio Suárez! 1⃣1⃣
