Agustin Ramirez, Eury Perez help hot Marlins blank Yankees
Ramirez, a Rookie of the Year candidate, has 17 homers this year.
The Marlins are 29-14 since June 13. They have already clinched this series against the Yankees. That makes Miami 10-1-1 in its past 12 series.
Eury Perez (4-3) pitched six shutout innings, allowing just two hits and three walks. Perez, who struck out five, continues his fine work from July, when he went 3-1 with a 1.29 ERA.
Calvin Faucher pitched a scoreless ninth for his 11th save of the season. The Marlins also got one scoreless inning each from Ronny Henriquez and Tyler Phillips.
It was Miami's third shutout win in its past four games, and the Marlins are now just one game under .500 at 54-55.
Yankees rookie Cam Schlittler (1-2) took the loss, allowing four hits, two walks and two runs in five innings. He allowed both of the homers hit by Ramirez.
After a wild 13-12 win by the Marlins on Friday, Saturday's game was rather calm.
However, there were some big plays.
In fact, New York nearly scored in the first inning as Giancarlo Stanton drilled a two-out, 111-mph single. But left fielder Kyle Stowers charged in and threw a no-hop strike to home, where Liam Hicks tagged out Trent Grisham, who was trying to score from second.
Miami took a 1-0 lead in the second as Ramirez belted a 421-foot homer to left on a hit that had a 112-mph exit velocity. Ramirez hit a 3-1 fastball clocked at 97 mph.
In the second inning, New York's Jazz Chisholm Jr. was caught too far off of first base on a popup by Paul Goldschmidt. Second baseman Xavier Edwards threw out Chisholm.
The Marlins extended their lead to 2-0 in the fourth inning as Ramirez hit a 1-2 sweeper that was up and wide of the strike zone for a 418-foot homer to center. The exit velocity was 108 mph.

Stephen A. Smith has strong words for Commanders star Terry McLaurin amid tense contract holdout
Stephen A. Smith has questioned Terry McLaurin's trade request as the wide receiver continues his Commanders holdout. McLaurin, who scored a career-high 13 receiving touchdowns last year, is seeking an improved contract with just one year left on his current deal. He signed a three-year, $68million extension with the team back in 2022. Now, the wideout is seeking a significant raise - but Smith is unsure if he's gone about it the right way. 'I'm not sure how wise it is for him to take this position at this particular moment in time,' Smith said of McLaurin's trade request on ESPN's First Take. Smith then went on to report that McLaurin has been offered around $27m per year by the Commanders. Stephen A Smith says that the #Commanders are right now offering around $27M APY to WR Terry McLaurin according to his sources. (via: @FirstTake) — brandon (@JayDanielsMVP) August 1, 2025 'The brother is a guy that registers thousand-yard seasons with regularity. He can ball. He is a valuable asset to their franchise,' Smith continued. 'My sources tell me right now, they're at about $27 million with him. I think they should at least come up to $30 million. There's no question about that, but if they come up to $30-$31 million, I'm not sure there's somebody else out there that is giving Terry McLaurin that kind of paper.' While McLaurin is one of the more consistent receivers in the league - with five consecutive seasons of 1,000-plus receiving yards - he will be 31 years old by the time his next contract begins. Nonetheless, he gave Jayden Daniels a reliable No. 1 target last year as he caught 82 passes for 1,096 yards in the quarterback's rookie season. That performance helped Washington to their best season in decades as they went 12-5 and made it to the NFC Championship Game. Following McLaurin's trade request last week, Commanders coach Dan Quinn said 'we love Terry' and shared that the receiver told him the move would be happening ahead of time. 'We also understand there's the business side of this thing. [GM] Adam [Peters] and his side and Terry and his reps are working it through just kind of stay in that space,' Quinn said. 'We recognize both are happening. I'm really glad [Terry's] here. I love coaching him. Somebody asked me if it is a distraction. It is not.' The Commanders have stated they have no interest in trading McLaurin, who reported to camp late last month - but was placed on the physically unable to perform list with an ankle injury. Washington will begin their preseason this Friday against the Patriots.
