Eury Pérez delivered an impressive performance by pitching a one-hitter, marking the 11th complete-game shutout in the major leagues this season, as the Miami Marlins defeated the Atlanta Braves 3-0. The 23-year-old right-hander allowed only one hit, a single by Sean Murphy in the sixth inning, and struck out eight while walking one over 105 pitches. This was Pérez’s first complete game in 68 major league starts, improving his record against the Braves, against whom he previously struggled. Joe Mack and Griffin Conine contributed to the Marlins’ victory with home runs, helping Miami snap a six-game losing streak against the Braves. The Marlins, now 79-81, matched last season’s win total and are striving to avoid a third consecutive losing season. The game also included a moment of silence for former Marlins pitcher José Fernández on the 10th anniversary of his passing.
