HOUSTON – To hear Carlos Perez tell it, he got what he needed out of his trip back to the minors on the first day.
He hit a home run.
“Just to get the confidence back,” Perez said Saturday, his first day back in the majors after nearly two weeks in Triple-A. “Just to be there and clear my mind and get the confidence back. That’s what I needed. I feel better now.”
Perez hit .355 with two homers in seven games in the minors, proving to the Angels that he was ready to come back.
