Oliver Perez won his salary arbitration case and will be paid $6.5 million this year rather than the Mets’ offer of $4,725,000.

The right-hander went 15-10 with a 3.56 ERA last year, when he made $2,425,000. The decision was made by arbitrators Steven Wolf, Robert Bailey and Elizabeth Neumeier, who heard the case Thursday in St. Petersburg, Fla.
