Pérez Saves Braves With No-Hitter | Atlanta Braves News

When their starter went down with a knee injury 90 minutes before game time, the Braves had no one to turn to—until Martín Pérez stepped up and delivered a career-defining performance. Pitching out of nowhere, Pérez tossed seven scoreless innings, nearly throwing a no-hitter, striking out six on just 59 pitches while allowing only one hit. With the trade deadline looming and pitching needs urgent, this win was a lifeline—and it came with Matt Olson’s 30th homer and Ronald Acuña Jr.’s solo shot. Now, JR Ritchie may get the nod Sunday after being scratched from his minor league start. The Braves are finding ways to win—even when the script changes at the last minute.
