ANAHEIM -- Carlos Perez's entire family is in Venezuela, but they didn't miss his Major League debut on Tuesday night. Perez bought them the MLB.TV package so they could all watch him catch Garrett Richards and bat eighth in the Angels' lineup against the Mariners.
"Lots of emotions right now," Perez said prior to the game. "Just try not to do too much. I'll try to do the same things I've always done, do my job. I think that's important. Don't try to do more than you're capable of."
The Angels believe Perez is capable of plenty.
