Peralta faced the Orioles on Sunday, ultimately taking the loss and marking his 10th defeat of the season. The pitcher allowed two runs on one hit and three walks across 4.2 innings pitched, striking out two batters.
He managed to keep the Orioles scoreless through the first four innings. However, with two outs and two runners on base in the fifth inning, the Rays turned to the bullpen. Garrett Cleavinger then gave up back-to-back hits, allowing both of Peralta's inherited runners to score.
This performance contributes to a challenging period for Peralta with Tampa Bay. In his three starts with the Rays, he has allowed a total of 12 runs over 14.1 innings. His overall season statistics now show a 5.27 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP, with 123 strikeouts and 53 walks across 25 starts spanning 128 innings for both the Rays and the Mets. Peralta is slated for a potential rematch against the Orioles in his upcoming start.
