Marlins Edge A's 9-8 After Perez's 7 Perfect Innings

Eury Perez, 5-6, struck out a season‑high eight and retired all 21 batters in seven perfect innings, delivering 92 pitches for the Marlins. He was lifted by manager Clayton McCullough and replaced by reliever Lake Bachar, who issued a walk and allowed the Athletics to rally, erasing an eight‑run lead to hand Miami a 9‑8 loss.

Heriberto Hernández homered twice while Leo Jiménez and All‑Star shortstop Otto López also went deep; López, leading the majors with a .346 average, drove in three runs. Pérez, 6‑ft‑8, had returned from Tommy John surgery and a leg injury, making his most starts since June 24. The Athletics’ bullpen collapse, highlighted by Bachar’s six‑run inning, proved decisive, as the Marlins’ 49‑42 record sits at 9‑12 overall after vehículo of a three‑game sweep. cricket-info.homes
