Letting Hicks and VMJ go will haunt the #Marlins for more than half a decade.

THE SEVENTH ONE-HIT SHUTOUT IN FRANCHISE HISTORY

What a night. What a performance. What a vote of confidence for Eury heading into the off season. As the great Tommy Hutton mentioned, maybe now Miami can learn that when a starting pitcher is throwing free and easy, they can pitch passed the 6th inning. Game 161 tomorrow.

The fact that this team could finish .500 despite the worst base-running in all of MLB is impressive. Griffin goes yard. 3-0 fish. Eury will go out for the ninth. Wish he could have against the Athletics, too

Tommy Hutton makes a great point that I had forgotten: Jose Fernandez never pitched in the ninth inning in his entire career. Eury has a chance to do it for the first time tonight.

Career-high eight shutout innings for Eury Perez. Miami leads 1-0. Will they let him finish it out? #Waittosee

Eury Perez doing his best Sandy Alcantara impression and it's beautiful.

Incredible stuff by Christina. We all remember where we were that morning and the following night. Teammates spend more time with each other than they do with their wives, kids, parents or anyone else. Awful way for those guys to lose a brother.

The Marlins have placed flowers in front of Jose Fernandez’s wall on the Marlins museum showing his Rookie of the Year honor. Today marks 10 years since his tragic passing #Marlins @FishOnFirst

One of the heartwarming moments I remember from that week: The #Diamondbacks finished a series @WSH a couple days later, and before leaving the weight room that Miami would use the next day, they thought to leave this note: Unspeakable tragedy brought out the best in humanity

Hard to believe it’s been 10 years. One of the brightest lights the city has ever seen. It was an honor and a privilege to watch you throw the ball every fifth day.

Sandy Alcantara will NOT start Saturday. He will be available out of the bullpen over the weekend. It is NOT health related per manager Clayton McCullough. Took into consideration WBC & regular-season workload. This is the most he has thrown since Tommy John surgery. #Marlins

Sandy Alcantara is the first pitcher to get MULTIPLE saves on days he entered with at least a share of the MLB lead in innings pitched - 9/16 & today (saves since 1969) Only others to even do so once: May 2, 1987 Orel Hershiser July 29, 1978 Phil Niekro May 30, 1975 Andy Messersmith h/t @EliasSports

Sandy Alcantara gets the save on a double play. How appropriate. #Marlins

Sandy Alcantara. Two career saves. Two wins in Wrigley for Miami. I can’t say I love this strategy, but it sure is fun to watch here in September Miami goes for the sweep tomorrow. Lock up Sandy for life, #Marlins

In comes Sandy Alcantara to pitch the bottom of the ninth. He will attempt to record his second career save in his second career appearance out of the bullpen for the #Marlins. Tune in, Miami.

Hell of a diving effort by Graham Pauley on that 2-run single by Swanson. Tough luck for both Petersen and Gusto that sixth inning. Tie game after six at the friendly confines.

Josh Ekness’ 102.0 mph strikeout is the second-fastest strikeout pitch by a Marlins pitcher under tracking (2008), behind only: 9/14/19 Tyron Guerrero: 102.5 mph
