Oklahoma City second baseman Willie Calhoun responded in the bottom of the fourth inning with his team-leading 19th homer of the season into the Iowa bullpen in right-center field to cut Iowa's lead to 7-1.
Iowa scored five more runs in the sixth inning.
The first three batters of the inning reached base to load the bases for Iowa's Perez, who singled to center field to bring home a run.
