Kyle Stowers' two homers lift Marlins to 12-5 win over Athletics

Kyle Stowers hit two home runs as the Miami Marlins defeated the Oakland Athletics 12-5 on Friday night in West Sacramento. The Marlins exploded for six homers in the game, with Heriberto Hernández adding a three‑run shot, Jakob Marsee, Owen Caissie and others also hitting long balls. Miami piled on runs early, scoring six in the first inning, and maintained the lead with contributions from Liam Hicks, Kyle Stowers, and a late two‑run homer by Caissie in the ninth. The win halted a two‑game losing streak for the Marlins.

The series continued to trouble the Athletics, who lost a second straight game 7-2 the following day, extending their stretch without a series victory. Both games highlighted Oakland's pitching struggles and Miami's offensive surge.
