Marlins Survive 9-8 Thriller vs. A's

Eury Pérez retired all 21 batters in seven perfect innings before manager Clayton McCullough lifted him, but the Marlins nearly squandered an eight‑run lead in a 9‑8 loss to the Athletics. Hernandez hit two homers and Lopez, who leads the majors at .346, drove in three runs.

Relief from Lake Bachar unraveled when Butler walked, followed by a grand slam from Jonah Heim that cut the lead to five. Miami added an insurance run in the ninth before Pete Fairbanks closed the game, allowing no further damage. rouesnews.click
