The Atlanta Braves suffered a disappointing loss in yesterday\u2019s match-up against the San Diego Padres during extra innings. Mart\u00edn P\u00e9rez is looking to help the team bounce back to break their losing streak.<\/p>\n
Braves pitching has seen its struggles as of late. The bullpen is scarce, and the starters are hitting a continuous rough spot. Holding a 6-3 record this season, along with a 2.78 ERA, P\u00e9rez has the potential to turn it around, but will need to rely on a consistent stint early if he wants to get ahead of the Padres.<\/p>\n
In his last outing against the Milwaukee Brewers, P\u00e9rez went through six innings, and though he allowed six hits, he only gave up one run and had five strikeouts in the day\u2019s win.<\/p>\n
It might be that time in the season where the Bullpen comes in clutch while the starting rotation figures things out.<\/p>\n
The objective is to get a head start in rattling the offense, especially when the Padres climbed their way back into contention last night. They see what\u2019s possible, and will look to run it back. If P\u00e9rez can make a statement early and keep it going, he just might stop San Diego in their tracks.<\/p>\n
As for the Padres, they have a bit of a wildcard stepping onto the mound for them. JP Sears was recently called up from Triple-A to take the place of Lucas Giolito due to injury.<\/p>\n
Sears\u2019 four-seamers touch the lower end of the 90s, and his current ERA is 7.92 in the minors. This could either be an opening for the Braves\u2019 offense to pull off what they couldn\u2019t in Tuesday\u2019s matchup or give Sears the confidence to dominate if the bats decide to stay silent.<\/p>\n
A showdown on the West Coast starts tonight at 8:40 p.m EDT.<\/p>\n
Game Time: Monday, June 24th, 8:40 pm EDT<\/p>\n
Location: Petco Park, San Diego, Ga<\/p>\n
