"Jesse Scholtens (1-7) took the loss after allowing five runs on nine hits in 3 2/3 innings. "(It) just seemed like anytime he made a mistake, they made him pay for it, " manager Pedro Grifol said of Scholtens. "I know he didn't feel that good about his fastball today, so he was heavy breaking ball. When he had to throw a breaking ball over the plate they squared it up. "In games like that you're always going to get inconsistent effort. Am I OK with it? I'm not. Am I going to address it? Yes, I am. ""On the approach side, I thought their kid had pretty damn good stuff today and he got a good mix of pitches.

A double by Michael Massey was followed by a single by Drew Waters in the second. In the third, Perez got a sacrifice fly to the second baseman.
