Eury Pérez shuts out Braves as Marlins win 3-0

Eury Pérez pitched a complete-game shutout Friday as Miami beat Atlanta 3-0. He worked all nine innings and struck out eight, according to the official MLB game feed. MLB's same-game video identifies the performance as a complete-game shutout, matching the final pitching line.

The game remained scoreless for six innings. Atlanta starter Ray Kerr threw three shutout innings, and Grant Holmes kept Miami off the board until the seventh. Joe Mack then hit his 14th home run of the season to right-center, putting the Marlins ahead 1-0. It was the first scoring play in a game that had offered neither club much separation.

Miami added insurance in the eighth. Jakob Marsee scored on Heriberto Hernández's single to center, then Griffin Conine hit his 18th home run to left-center for a 3-0 lead. Marsee and Javier Sanoja each finished with two hits, and Conine had two hits in three at-bats. Holmes was charged with the first run over four innings; Didier Fuentes allowed the two eighth-inning runs.

Pérez took the mound again for the ninth and finished the job himself. He did not hand the shutout to a reliever. The final box score lists nine innings, no runs and eight strikeouts for the Miami starter. Atlanta did not record a scoring play against him, and Miami needed only the three late runs to secure the result.

The structure of the game made the seventh-inning homer decisive. Both staffs kept the score at zero into the final third; Mack's drive changed that, and Pérez protected the one-run edge until the Marlins added two more. The complete game also spared Miami's bullpen. Pérez supplied every out himself, letting the three late runs stand without a pitching change. The final score and inning-by-inning record are documented in MLB's game feed; the official video comes from this same game.
