Oliver Perez debuted this year with a bang. He went six innings and kept the Marlins scoreless, striking out eight batters and only walking one. His slider was working all night long and he was routinely getting first pitch strikes.

It helped that the Mets were able to put a 13-spot on the board against Florida but Oliver Perez pitched one hell of a game in the 13-0 victory.

That's the kind of performance many don't think he's capable of throughout the year, only time will tell.

I fully believe he's got the potential to pitch like this all year. He always has, and I'm thrilled to see him finally starting to get it together.
