Marlins starter Eury Pérez leaves after striking out 9 in 4 innings because of right hamstring spasm |

TORONTO (AP) — Miami Marlins right-hander Eury Pérez left Wednesday’s loss at Toronto after four shutout innings when his right hamstring spasmed while he was stretching in the dugout.

Pérez was limbering up to come out for the fifth when his muscle spasmed and he sat down in pain. He was removed from the game and needed assistance from a teammate to descend the dugout steps into the clubhouse.
