Prez throws 1-hitter for just 11th MLB complete-game shutout this year as
Marlins beat Braves 3-0
MIAMI (AP) --- Eury Prez pitched a one-hitter for just the 11th complete-game
shutout in the major leagues this season, and the Miami Marlins beat the
playoff-bound Atlanta Braves 3-0 on Friday night.
A 23-year-old right-hander, Prez (8-11) allowed his only hit when Sean Murphy
linked a single to left on a first-pitch sinker starting the sixth.
Prez struck out eight and walked one, throwing 105 pitches for his first
complete game in 68 big league starts. Prez entered 0-3 with a 9.76 ERA in six
career starts against the Braves.
This year's MLB shutout total is one below last year. The only seasons with
fewer were from 1871-73.
Prez threw the 21st complete game. There were a record-low 28 in 2024 and 29
last year.
Joe Mack and Griffin Conine homered for the Marlins, who snapped a six-game
losing skid against the NL East champion Braves. Miami (79-81) equaled last
season's wins total and is trying to avoid a third straight losing season.
Mack homered in the seventh off Grant Holmes (10-6), his 14th this season.
Holmes made his second relief appearance of the season after 29 starts.
Heriberto Hernndez had an RBI single and Conine homered off Didier Fuentes in
a two-run eighth.
Before the game, there was a brief moment of silence for former Marlins pitcher
Jos Fernndez on the 10th anniversary the two-time All-Star died in a boating
accident.
