0:00It's March 28th. Welcome to MLB News Today, powered by AI, I'm Cory with the story. Marlins pulled off a 4-3 comeback win over the Rockies at Lone Depot Park. Yuri Perez mashed his career best with seven innings on the mound, while Owen Casey delivered the go-ahead RBI single in the 8th. Perez kept Colorado to just three runs on two homers, fanning 8 and walking only one across 93 pitches for a solid quality start. It was just his third time reaching the 7th in 40 career outings. This lines up with Sandy Alcantara's seven frames on opening day, marking the first back-to-back seven innings starts for Marlins pitchers to open A. Season since 2004, Perez, who turns 23 on April 15th, counts as a top breakout hopeful around the league. Catcher Liam Hicks sparked the offense with a game-high three RBI's, including a sacrifice fly to tie it at one and a two-run homer in the 5th at, chased the Rockies starter.
