Marlins Walk Off, Pérez to Pitch | MLB News

The Marlins pulled off a heart-pounding 3-2 walk-off win over the Nationals, thanks to Javier Sanoja’s clutch ninth-inning single. Down 1-0 heading into the eighth, they rallied with key hits from Sanoja and Otto Lopez, then held on after Washington tied it up. With playoff hopes still alive — four games behind the wild-card spot — they’re focused on one game at a time. Saturday’s lineup features Eury Pérez on the mound, Sanoja back at third, and Griffin Conine in the two-hole. They’ve also called up infielder Deyvison De Los Santos. Pérez, who’s been lights-out in August, faces Jake Irvin — a pitcher struggling lately and making his first start against Miami this season. The Marlins are primed to exploit Irvin’s woes and keep Pérez deep in the game to protect their bullpen.
