Chris Perez notches save with Wood on DL

Chris Perez pitched a scoreless ninth inning to notch his eighth save of the season in the first game of a doubleheader against the Tigers on Saturday afternoon.

Perez walked one and struck out one in the scoreless frame. The 25-year-old right-hander should get the majority of the save opportunities now that Kerry Wood is on the disabled list with a blister on his right index finger. Remember, there's a chance that Wood will be traded before the August 31 waiver deadline, so Perez should be safely tucked away in all formats.
