Miami Marlins starter Eury Pérez delivers a dominant outing, pitching seven perfect innings before being removed by manager Clayton McCullough during Sunday’s game against the Oakland Athletics. The Marlins build a large advantage, taking an eight-run lead, but the Athletics rally late and make the outcome close. Miami ultimately holds on for a 9-8 victory, avoiding a collapse after completing a three-game sweep. Offensively, Heriberto Hernández plays a central role for the Marlins, hitting two home runs. The team also gets extra-base power from Leo Jiménez and All-Star shortstop Otto López, who both hit homers. The win improves Miami’s record to 49-42, and the team has won nine of its last 12 games following the sweep. While Pérez’s early performance sets the tone, the final result turns on the Marlins’ ability to protect their lead during a late Athletics surge. All reports agree on the key milestones: seven perfect innings from Pérez, a pitching change after that stretch, a near blown eight-run lead, and Hernández’s two-homer output.
