Perez went 2-for-4 with a triple, a solo home run and two runs scored Saturday against the Rockies.
Perez recorded his ninth home run of the season, going back-to-back with Travis Shaw in the first inning against left-hander Tyler Anderson. With both Mike Moustakas and Orlando Arcia on the bench, Perez got the start at shortstop -- he later shifted to right field -- and continued his strong season-long production against southpaws by launching his sixth home run against them in 82 at-bats. He isn't likely to see regular playing time, but has both power and stolen-base upside -- he's stolen nine bags this season -- when he is in the starting lineup.
