Martín Pérez Takes Mound for Braves in Crucial Cubs Clash

Veteran southpaw Martín Pérez takes the mound for the Atlanta Braves against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, seeking to bounce back from a 7-3 series-opening loss. Holding an 8-9 record and 3.08 ERA on the season, Pérez looks to maintain his pattern of strong rebound performances, coming off a seven-shutout-inning outing against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Braves enter Tuesday night with a magic number of four to clinch a postseason berth.
