What happened

Sean Murphy lined a leadoff single in the sixth inning to break up Eury Perez's no-hit bid. The hit was the only knock Perez allowed during his complete-game shutout. After allowing the base hit, Perez successfully navigated the remainder of the lineup to secure a 3-0 victory.

Why it matters

The base hit spoiled a historic no-hit bid for Perez. Despite the disruption, Perez still secured the best start of his career by finishing the dominant outing. The ability to bounce back from the lost no-hitter and complete the one-hit shutout demonstrates significant resilience and skill.

By the numbers

Murphy's single was struck with authority, registering a 108.3 mph exit velocity. The hit carried a .690 expected batting average and was delivered against a pitch exceeding 96 mph. This single stood as the only hit yielded by Perez over the course of the entire game.

What to watch next

Perez heads into the offseason following the standout complete-game performance. The dominant finish to his year provides a strong foundation and positive momentum as he looks ahead to future opportunities on the mound.
