MIAMI — Eury Perez’s best wasn’t quite good enough for the Miami Marlins on Tuesday.
Even though the rookie starting pitcher put together another gem and perhaps the best start of his young career, the Marlins were locked in a scoreless tie with the Toronto Blue Jays when he exited the game after six innings and their bats ultimately let down the 20-year-old Dominican. The Blue Jays scored two runs on a pair of fluky hits in the top of the seventh inning to win, 2-0, in Miami and end the Marlins’ five-game winning streak.
Miami (42-32) is still 10 games above .500, though, and in the top wild-card spot with only seven games left until the halfway point of the regular season.
