Marlins pitcher Eury Pérez excited to be back in the big leagues despite rocky return from injury
PITTSBURGH (AP) — For a young pitcher, Eury Pérez has already experienced a lot. A prized prospect with Miami before he got injured, the 6-foot-8 Pérez returned from Tommy John surgery Monday night and made his first major league start since Sept. 20, 2023. He allowed four runs and four hits in three innings while striking out five and walking two as the Marlins lost 10-3 to the Pittsburgh Pirates. 'It was really great to see him back out there,' Miami manager Clayton McCullough said. 'I mean, you think of everything he's been through. I told him when he came out of the game that maybe it was not the outing he was thinking about, but think about what happened in getting to this point. I told him he should be very proud of the work he put in.' Pérez, still the youngest pitcher in the majors at 22 years and 55 days old, started off by tossing two scoreless innings. The Pirates, though, scored four times in the third to take a 4-1 lead as Andrew McCutchen knocked in a run with an infield single and Bryan Reynolds followed with a bases-loaded triple to right-center. 'A few things piled up in that inning,' Pérez said. 'It was very exciting to be able to get that first start in the big leagues again. In the first inning, I kept thinking about all the obstacles that I went through. It's good to be back.' The right-hander made his big league debut in 2023 and went 5-6 with a 3.15 ERA in 19 starts before sitting out last season. Baseball America ranked Perez as the seventh-best prospect in the game before the 2023 season. 'Look, it's one start, right? He's going to be better,' McCullough said. 'He's a big part of our present and our future.' Perez was activated from the 60-day injured list before the game, and left-hander Ryan Weathers was placed on the 60-day IL with a left lat strain. In five starts this season, Weathers is 1-1 with a 3.28 ERA. ___ AP MLB:

Bryan Reynolds' bases-loaded triple leads Pirates to season-high 4th straight win, 10-3 over Marlins
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Bryan Reynolds hit a bases-loaded triple to cap a four-run third inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the skidding Miami Marlins 10-3 on Monday night for their season-high fourth straight win. Reynolds put the Pirates ahead 4-1 with a line drive to the gap in right-center field off Eury Perez (0-1), who was making his first major league start since Sept. 20, 2023, after recovering from Tommy John surgery. Reynolds' hit came after Andrew McCutchen had an RBI infield single. All nine Pirates had hits, and McCutchen and Adam Frazier paced a 15-hit attack with three apiece.

Despite missing so much time, Perez is still the youngest pitcher in the major leagues at 22 years, 55 days. The Pirates broke the game open with a four-run sixth that included two throwing errors by the Marlins on Ke'Bryan Hayes' bunt single. That put Pittsburgh ahead 8-2. The Marlins' Otto Lopez hit a leadoff home run in the second inning, his sixth, to open the scoring. Miami lost for the eighth time in nine games. The start of the game was delayed 41 minutes because of the threat of inclement weather. Key moment Reynolds' triple gave the Pirates all the runs they would need.
