Eury Pérez was simply untouchable. The Miami right-hander threw a complete-game shutout on Friday, September 25, holding the Atlanta Braves to a single hit across nine innings in a 3-0 Marlins victory at loanDepot park. Pérez struck out eight, walked one, and gave Atlanta's lineup no path to offense all night. Griffin Conine and Joe Mack each went deep to supply all the run support Miami needed. For the Braves, it was a shutout loss in a division game with no positive offensive highlights to salvage from the night.

Eury Pérez Dominates Atlanta With One-Hit Complete Game

Pérez's line told the whole story: 9.0 innings, one hit, one walk, zero earned runs, eight strikeouts. The Braves managed just that single base hit against him all game. There were no multi-hit innings, no real rallies, and no moments where Atlanta looked like it was threatening to break through. Pérez was in complete command from the first pitch to the last, earning the win in dominant fashion.

On the offensive side for Miami, Conine went 2-for-3 with a home run and an RBI. Mack added a 1-for-2 performance that included a solo home run of his own. Jakob Marsee and Javier Sanoja each went 2-for-4 to keep the lineup churning, though their contributions did not produce runs directly.

Atlanta Pitching Couldn't Match Pérez, Braves Offense Went Silent

The Braves got nothing going on offense and did not receive a matching performance from their pitching staff. Ray Kerr opened the game for Atlanta, working three innings while allowing two hits and a walk without giving up an earned run — a serviceable effort. Grant Holmes followed with four innings, surrendering three hits and three walks while allowing one earned run. Holmes was charged with the loss.

The situation unraveled in the final frame. Reliever Didier Fuentes worked the ninth inning and was touched for five hits and two earned runs across just one inning of work, inflating the final margin. By that point, Pérez had already made the Braves' offensive silence the defining story of the game.

Turning Point: Pérez Carries a No-Hit Bid Deep Into the Game

With Pérez holding Atlanta to one hit through nine innings, the Braves never found a turning point in their favor. There was no inning where Atlanta strung together baserunners, no high-leverage at-bat that changed the complexion of the game. The Marlins' pitching simply dictated the terms from start to finish, and Atlanta's bats had no answer.

What's Next for the Atlanta Braves

The Braves dropped this division matchup on Friday, September 25, and will need to bounce back quickly. With the regular season winding down in late September, every game carries weight. Atlanta will look to its pitching staff and offense to respond in the next contest and avoid letting this shutout loss set a negative tone heading into the final stretch of the 2026 regular season.
