Marlins pull plug on Eury Pérez’s perfect game bid — and fans let them hear it

These MLB stadium snacks are stealing home on social media

Major league baseball stadiums are stepping up to the plate with some seriously viral food and souvenir merch.

Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Perez was perfect for seven innings on Sunday, June 5.

But his bid for MLB’s first perfect game in more than three years was stopped by his own manager.

Perez was lifted after seven flawless innings and eight strikeouts against the Athletics, with Marlins skipper Clayton McCullough removing him after 92 pitches. The seven innings tied a season-high for the electric 23-year-old, who was making just his third start since returning from a thigh injury.

Perez had Tommy John elbow surgery before the start of the 2024 season that kept him out of action for all of that season and half of 2025.

Fans in Sacramento responded to Perez’s removal by chanting “shame” and pointing at the Marlins dugout as the eighth inning started.

Reliever Lake Bachar gave up the perfect game, no-hitter and shutout in a three-batter span by walking Lawrence Butler, allowing a single to Joshua Kuroda-Grauer and then giving up an RBI double to Carlos Cortes. After a walk to Max Muncy, Bachar allowed a grand slam to Jonah Heim, which prompted celebration and more “shame” chants by A’s fans.

Domingo Germán of the New York Yankees threw MLB’s most recent perfect game on June 28, 2023. That also came against the Athletics.
