The Rangers beat the Mets on Saturday.
— In his 11th major league season, Martín Pérez is making a strong pitch for his first All-Star selection this month.
"He's been huge for us all season. He's worked deep into games. He works quick, keeps the defense involved, and has definitely stopped the bleeding from time to time this year," Calhoun said."He's pitched in some tight ones, so it's nice to get him a little breathing room." After losing his first two starts this season, Pérez is unbeaten in his last 14 — a career best. His seven-game winning streak matches a career high set in 2017, and Texas has won 11 of his past 12 outings."He's executing. Before he would miss a lot more," Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor said."He's always been good. He's always been elite. He just didn't execute as much.
