(MLB.com Texas Rangers)

Martin Perez hasn`t done much lately to help his rotation case, after allowing eight runs in his second straight start. He was done after four innings in an 8-4 loss to the Rays on Monday night at Tropicana Field. The Rangers` runs came on a solo home run by Joey Gallo in the fourth and a three-run shot by Nomar Mazara in the eighth.
