Rookie Agustín Ramírez hits two solo homers as the Marlins beat the Yankees 2-0
Eury Pérez pitched six innings of two-hit ball as the Marlins won their fourth straight and clinched the series against the Yankees following Friday's 13-12 series-opening win.
After experiencing problems with his pitchcom device that caused three brief delays in the first inning, Pérez (4-3) struck out six and walked three in his 88-pitch outing.
Miami has won six consecutive series and is 29-14 since June 13.
The Marlins struck quickly when Ramírez connected off Yankees starter Cam Schlittler in the first. Ramírez drove a fastball 421 feet into the left-center field seats for his 16th homer.
Ramírez hit another solo drive against Schlittler (1-2) in the fourth.
Making his fourth major league start since being promoted from Triple-A on July 9, Schlittler allowed two runs and four hits while striking out six in five innings.
Saturday's announced attendance of 34,645 surpassed the Marlins' previous season-home high of 32,299 in Friday's opener against New York.
Key moment
Pérez struck out Ryan McMahon and retired Anthony Volpe on a groundout after he allowed a one-out double to Ben Rice and walked Paul Goldschmidt in the fifth.
Key stat
Marlins left fielder Kyle Stowers had his sixth assist of the season when he threw out Trent Grisham at the plate as he attempted to score from second on Giancarlo Stanton's single in the first.
Up next
RHP Luis Gil will make his season debut when he starts the series finale for the Yankees on Sunday. The reigning AL Rookie of the Year has been sidelined since spring training because of a lat strain. The Marlins will go with RHP Edward Cabrera (4-5, 3.35).

Yankees broadcasters comment on struggling Joc Pederson's physique before game-tying homer
Looks — and at least for this night, the stats — can be deceiving. YES announcer Ryan Ruocco seemingly made a crack Monday about Rangers veteran Joc Pederson's physique, with the broadcast noting his awful season moments before his game-tying homer off Devin Williams in the ninth inning of the Yankees' eventual 8-5 walk-off loss in 10 innings at Globe Life Field. Advertisement 'You can see the physique has definitely evolved for Joc,' Ruocco said before Pederson pulled an 84-mph changeup into the right field seats to tie the game at 5-5. Pederson, 33, is now in his 12th season and has transformed over the years from a center fielder to a designated hitter. Like most 30-year-olds, he's seemingly put on some weight over the years. 4 Joc Pederson celebrates his homer Monday. AP Advertisement He's listed as 6-foot-1 and 220 pounds, which Baseball Almanac actually lists as his weight from his rookie season, but a Reddit post shows a leaner Pederson during his Dodgers years from 2014-20, before he transitioned into more of a prototypical slugger in recent years. Regardless of his size, Pederson produced a strong 2024 season with Arizona before inking a two-year, $37 million deal with the Rangers that has not worked out thus far. Advertisement 4 Joc Pederson's stats before the homer. @awfulannouncing/X Ruocco and David Cone noted he struggled when he walked to the plate with none on and one out in the ninth as Williams pursued a save. 'There he is, Joc Pederson, who has really struggled, ' Ruocco said, with Pederson's .126 average, two homers, six RBIs and .473 OPS displayed on the YES broadcast. 4 Yankees announcer Ryan Ruocco. YES Advertisement Cone replied: 'Stunning, those numbers are absolutely stunning from Joc Pederson, who signed a two-year, $20 million (sic) deal to come over here. Hitting .126.' Ruocco mentioned how Pederson had a .908 OPS with the Diamondbacks last year before Williams missed high and outside with the first pitch. 4 Joc Pederson homerered to tie the game Monday. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Williams made the mistake in a 2-1 count, throwing a cookie that Pederson — even with his .126 average — did not miss. 'Devin Williams serves it up and Joc Pederson slams it out,' Ruocco said. The game ended one inning later after the Yankees, yet again, failed to score on the road in extra innings, and then newcomer Jake Bird allowed his second homer in four days. The reeling Yankees now are tied with the Mariners for the second wild card spot and are just 1 1/2 games clear of the Rangers for a postseason berth.
