\n\tRight-hander\u00a0Eury P\u00e9rez<\/a> was back on the mound for the Miami Marlins on Monday, making his first start in 628 days. P\u00e9rez’s season debut coming back from Tommy John surgery lasted only three innings, allowing four runs on four hits, walking two and striking out five against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Marlins fell by a final score of 10-3.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tP\u00e9rez’s fastball velocity was fully back to where it previously was as a 20-year-old rookie. He averaged 98.5 mph and topped out at 99.7 mph. He touched 99 mph eight times. He generated three whiffs on four-seamers and two of his five strikeouts came on that pitch. However, he struggled with commanding the pitch consistently, overthrowing a bit at times.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tP\u00e9rez’s first strikeout in his return came on the slider (mislabeled a cutter by Statcast), getting\u00a0Oneil Cruz<\/a> swinging. He also mixed a new sweeper, which he had told the media he added throughout the rehab process. He threw it 6% of the time and generated one whiff.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the bottom of the third inning, P\u00e9rez surrendered a lead-off walk to catcher Brett Sullivan<\/a>, base hit to Jared Triolo<\/a> and then loaded the bases by walking Cruz. Longtime Pirate Andrew McCutchen<\/a> tied the game at one apiece with an infield RBI single and former future Marlin Bryan Reynolds<\/a> hit a bases-clearing triple, giving the Pirates a commanding 4-1 lead.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAlthough P\u00e9rez finished the night with a 67% first-pitch strike rate, he was behind the count on the first five hitters he faced in that bottom of the third inning. The Pirates offense took advantage. He threw 39 of his 70 total pitches in the third.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“The pitch count just got elevated and had to work really hard there,” said Marlins manager Clayton McCullough following the game. “Got some deep counts and some foul balls. I thought he threw some good sliders. The fastball obviously had good velocity. I think the command will continue to come as he just gets back out there and gets back into the rhythm and into the flow of things. All in all, while he’s probably not happy with how things turned out and results, to be back out there again and have the chance to get back on the mound is great for us.”\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe next outing for P\u00e9rez could come against the Washington Nationals this weekend or back in Miami when the Marlins host the Philadelphia Phillies beginning on June 16.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the bottom of the first inning, Otto Lopez<\/a> took Pirates starting pitcher Mike Burrows<\/a>\u00a0deep for a solo home run, his sixth of the season, tying a career-high. His bat hit the ball at 105.5 mph, sending it 408 feet to left field. It gave the Marlins an early 1-0 lead.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBad defense was a big reason for the Pirates’ production. In the bottom of the sixth, reliever Janson Junk<\/a> gave up a lead-off double to Spencer Horwitz<\/a> followed by a base hit to Nick Gonzalez<\/a>. Adam Frazier<\/a> drove Horwitz in on an RBI single. What started off as a bunt single from third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes<\/a>\u00a0resulted in two runs due to throwing errors from Connor Norby<\/a>, and\u00a0Jes\u00fas S\u00e1nchez<\/a>.\u00a0Hayes got all the way to third base, setting up a sac fly and an additional run.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“I think that was probably the most disappointing part of this,” McCullough said. “We didn’t handle the ball, threw it around a little bit, gave up some extra bases and some runs that kind of got away from us. We’ve been on the losing end of some games that have been tight and we’ve just played at a different standard, and tonight, we didn’t.”\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe second Marlins run came on a Jes\u00fas S\u00e1nchez sac fly and the third run was on an RBI double from Connor Norby.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWith the loss, the Marlins have dropped to 24-40 on the season.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSandy Alcantara will take the mound on Tuesday as he looks to keep the momentum from his last start going. First pitch is at 6:40 pm.\n<\/p>\n
