Perez  Perez gave up five hits and four walks while striking out four for the Buffalo Bisons. He threw 92 pitches, 46 for strikes, and delivered a first-pitch strike to only seven of the 23 Rochester Red Wings he faced.

Perez is scheduled to return to the Mets for a start on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
