Miami Marlins at Athletics

Go for history or consider a potential postseason run? That is the question Marlins manager Clayton McCullough juggled during Sunday afternoon’s 9-8 victory over the Athletics at Sutter Health Park. In his third start back from the injured list due to a leg strain, right-hander Eury Pérez flirted with the franchise’s first perfect game by retiring the first 21 batters on 92 pitches. Pérez was the third pitcher since at least 1900 to be pulled from a perfect game of seven innings or more, joining Rich Hill in 2016 and Clayton Kershaw in 2022. • Every pitcher removed deep in a no-hit bid
