Marlins Edge A's 9-8 After Eury Pérez’s Seven Perfect Innings

Eury Pérez delivered seven perfect innings for newcomer Miami, striking out eight and retiring all 21 batters he faced. He was lifted by manager Clayton McCullough in the eighth after a 92‑pitch outing, and had not issued a walk in any of his four perfect‑inning starts this season.

The Athletics rallied after trabaj reliever Lake Bachar issued a leadoff walk. Jonah Heim hit a grand slam, cutting the lead to 8‑5. Miami added insurance runs, but Pete Fairbanks surrendered three runs to close the game. Marlins’ Heriberto Hernández homered twice, while Otto Lopez drove in three runs on a .346 average. The 9‑8 victory capped a three‑game sweep for Miami. forestarrow.help
