MIAMI -- Eury Pérez pitched from the stretch just twice in his first five innings against Toronto on Sunday afternoon at loanDepot park.

That’s just the kind of day it was for the 22-year-old Dominican, whose new haircut and glove had him feeling like a brand-new man in the 5-3 win .

Pérez was impressive, fanning four and allowing two runs on three hits in six innings. The Marlins took a 1-0 lead thanks to an Eric Wagaman home run in the third, and went up 4-0 when Jakob Marsee slapped a bases-loaded triple the following frame.

Toronto came within one run when Daulton Varsho belted a three-run homer in the seventh. The hit came off reliever Lake Bachar, but Pérez had two of those runs charged to him after allowing a base hit and a walk to start the frame.
