Peralta was hit hard for the second night in a row Saturday, allowing two runs on two homers without recording an out against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Peralta gave up two runs (and a home run) Friday to the Angels, as well. He's pitched reasonably well this season, and recently the Mariners haven't had a choice but to use him late in games with Joaquin Benoit and Tony Zych on the disabled list. His 4.70 ERA is ugly, but he has 21 strikeouts in 15.1 innings and an MLB-leading 11 holds. With Benoit due back this week, Peralta could see fewer high-leverage situations.
