Blake Perkins' Walk-Off Single Lifts Brewers Past Marlins 3-2

Sunday, July 27th, 2025

MILWAUKEE — Blake Perkins singled home the winning run in the ninth inning as the Milwaukee Brewers rallied to beat the Miami Marlins 3-2 on Sunday, July 27, 2025.

Milwaukee erased a 2-1 deficit by scoring in each of the final two innings to avoid the sweep. The Brewers have been swept just once this season, in their opening series at Yankee Stadium.

Game Recap

In the pivotal ninth inning, Eric Haase hit a one-out bloop single to center off Cade Gibson (2-5) and advanced to third on Brice Turang’s broken-bat double down the left-field line. Gibson intentionally walked Jackson Chourio to load the bases.

Perkins then lofted a 3-2 pitch well over the head of center fielder Dane Myers, securing the walk-off victory for the Brewers.

Perkins had also scored the tying run in the eighth inning. After entering as a pinch-runner, he stole second and came home on Andrew Vaughn’s two-out, ground-rule double off Ronny Henriquez.

Milwaukee’s Trevor Megill (3-2) allowed a two-out double to Javier Sanoja in the top of the ninth, but right fielder Isaac Colins made a running catch of a fly ball to end the Marlins' threat.

For the Miami Marlins, Heriberto Hernández homered for a second straight game.

Key Moments

Miami led 2-1 and had runners on first and second with one out in the seventh when the Marlins ran themselves out of an inning. Aaron Ashby picked off Dane Myers at second base. Ashby then caught Xavier Edwards leaning off first and threw to Vaughn, who threw Edwards out at second. Edwards initially was ruled safe, but a replay review overturned the call, ending the Marlins' scoring chance.
