Pérez struggled to locate his secondary pitches, leading to many deep counts against a disciplined Yankees offense. The Yankees took the lead in the first inning on a two-run homer off Pérez, who also allowed runs in the second inning after issuing multiple walks and hitting a batter.
The Marlins' pitching staff collectively had a difficult day, issuing a total of 11 walks. Manager Clayton McCullough noted the team's free passes put them in a difficult position. The Marlins' offense, usually strong, was also quiet against Yankees pitcher Will Warren.
