Chicago White Sox starter Martín Pérez exits with left forearm soreness in 10-3 loss — their 13th in 15 games
BOSTON — The longest trip of the season for the Chicago White Sox got off to a bumpy beginning Friday. Starter Martín Pérez surrendered a three-run home run to Trevor Story in the first inning. The veteran left-hander exited after three innings with left forearm soreness in the 10-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox in front of 35,620 at Fenway Park. 'I feel sore,' Pérez said. 'I was just trying to be smart and tell them to get me out of the game and see what I got. We have to wait for the MRI tomorrow. 'In the third inning, I started feeling kind of fatigued a little bit. But I feel bad because I don't want to be in this situation. I want to keep pitching and competing but it is what it is. Wait and see what it's going to be and the decision and move on.' Pérez allowed four runs on five hits with two walks and no strikeouts in his three innings. He threw 52 pitches before leaving with the injury. 'They put a couple good swings on him,' manager Will Venable said. 'I think it was more of a product of them having something on him than the forearm bothering him. I think he was his normal self until the end there.' Pérez's setback came as the White Sox (4-15) continued to tumble. They've lost five straight and 13 of 15. Friday marked the start of a 10-game trip with the White Sox making stops in Boston, Minneapolis and West Sacramento, Calif. There's no off days during the span, which could push the limits of any bullpen. The White Sox used four relievers after Pérez's injury. The Sox signed Pérez to a one-year, $5 million contract in the offseason. The 34-year-old, who is in his 14th big-league season, has a 3.15 ERA in four starts for the Sox. He had an impressive debut on March 31 at Rate Field, throwing six no-hit innings against the Minnesota Twins. 'This is the guy when we're talking about stuff and opportunities for leadership, he's the guy that is embracing those moments and is vocal, comes with the credibility of having done in the league for so long and done it well,' Venable said. 'So he means a lot to this group.' During a session with reporters on Sunday, pitching coach Ethan Katz mentioned Pérez's impact on and off the field. 'He's constantly talking to the pitchers,' Katz said. 'The way he goes about his business, it's great. He likes to have a lot of fun while taking his craft very seriously. He's been great. 'He wants to win, he wants to get better, he wants to compete at the highest level and do his best.' Pérez ran into trouble early on Friday. Rafael Devers doubled with one out in the first on a ball that was just out of the reach of center fielder Michael A. Taylor, who ran a long way to try to track it down. Alex Bregman walked and Story homered to center as the White Sox fell behind 3-0. Pérez surrendered an RBI double to Rob Refsnyder with two outs in the third. Andrew Benintendi hit a home run to lead off the fourth for the White Sox. But when the team took the field in the bottom half of the inning, Penn Murfee entered in relief of Pérez. The Red Sox showed some power while putting the game out of reach. Ceddanne Rafaela hit a two-run home run against Murfee in the fourth, Story connected for another three-run home run — this time off Tyler Gilbert — in the seventh and Carlos Narváez added a solo shot off Bryse Wilson in the eighth. White Sox catcher Edgar Quero got his first major-league hit in the ninth, lining a first-pitch fastball from Josh Winckowski the opposite way for a double to left. 'I'm seeing the ball good,' said Quero, who was called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday. 'Just ready to hit the fastball and I hit it.' Little else went right for the White Sox, who fell to 0-7 on the road — their worst start away from home in franchise history (previously 0-6 in 1968).

Pérez shines in his Chicago debut with 6 hitless innings in White Sox' romp over Twins
Martín Pérez figured he had enough left to remain in the game a little longer. He also knew he couldn't go the distance. The veteran left-hander threw six no-hit innings and tied a career high with nine strikeouts in a sparkling Chicago debut, helping the White Sox roll past the Minnesota Twins 9-0 on Monday. "They asked me how I feel," Pérez said. "I told them I feel great. But I was honest, too. I mean, there's no way I could go three more innings. It's too early. It's a long season." Pérez began his afternoon by getting Byron Buxton to ground out on the game's first pitch. He ended it by catching Ty France looking at a 2-2 cutter. Pérez threw 93 pitches and walked three. He retired the first 11 batters before walking Ryan Jeffers and hitting France on the next pitch, but got out of that jam when he caught Jose Miranda looking at a 3-2 cutter. Pérez kept the Twins off balance with cutters, sinkers, changeups and curves. He consistently hit the corners, but never hit 90 mph. "I don't have the velocity anymore, but I know how to pitch, I know how to move the ball," he said. The Twins' only hits were singles by Willi Castro and Jeffers in the seventh and eighth against Mike Vasil in his major league debut. Pérez, who turns 34 on Friday, was an All-Star with Texas in 2022 and helped the Rangers win the World Series the following year. He pitched for Pittsburgh and San Diego last season before signing a $5 million, one-year contract with Chicago in January. The White Sox sure will take more performances like this. Pérez joined Boston's Hideo Nomo in 2001 as the only major leaguers since 1901 to toss six or more hitless innings while striking out at least nine while debuting with a new team. "That's Martín. He knows how to pitch," said White Sox manager Will Venable, Boston's bench coach in 2021 when Pérez was with the Red Sox. "I've seen it a lot. To have him continue this nice run of starting pitching was great." Through four games, the White Sox have a a 0.75 ERA. Their starters have combined for 23 innings without an earned run, the longest stretch to start a season in franchise history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The previous mark was 21 in 1947. Chicago also matched Toronto in 2019, San Francisco in 2013 and Milwaukee in 1976 for the longest season-opening streak in the major leagues since 1913, according to Elias. The terrific outing by Pérez comes on the heels of a stellar showing by the starters in the season-opening series against the Los Angeles Angels. Rookie Sean Burke went six scoreless innings in an opening day win, and though the White Sox dropped the next two games, the starters did their job. Jonathan Cannon tossed five shutout innings in Saturday's 1-0 loss, and Davis Martin allowed two unearned runs in six innings on Sunday. "I think it's really awesome when you're out there in the bullpen and all the starters are doing what they're doing," Vasil said. "It's very, very impressive. Obviously, as a pitcher on this staff, you want to be known as a team with a great pitching staff. So far, I think that's exactly what we have. So that's definitely a positive, positive thing."
