Rangers' Martin Perez: Takes 11th loss against Brewers

Perez (10-11) allowed eight runs on nine hits and three walks with three strikeouts over 6.2 innings and took the loss Monday against the Brewers.

Analysis:

Perez had four consecutive quality starts heading into Monday's outing, but his propensity for blowups like this has been present all year long. He has now allowed at least five runs in eight of his 32 starts, or one in four. Perez has had some occasional success with his pitch-to-contact approach, and the Rangers stellar offense and defense have lifted him to double-digit wins, but he's simply too unreliable to be more than a back-end option.
