WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) --- Kyle Stowers hit two home runs in a 4-for-5
night, Heriberto Hernndez, Jakob Marsee and Owen Caissie also homered and the
Miami Marlins beat the Athletics 12-5 on Friday night.
Stowers had his second four-hit game of the season, matching a June 17
performance against the Phillies.
Hernndez's 414-foot three-run shot in the first inning made it a five-run game
before the first out was recorded, as the first five batters all came around to
score.
Liam Hicks scored on Xavier Edwards' bases-loaded walk, and Stowers came across
on a passed ball. Marsee's first of the night added one more run before the A's
finally got out of the inning.
The A's briefly staged a rally, as Nick Kurtz hit a two-run homer in the third
and Jeff McNeil had a three-run double in the fourth, but Stowers hit a solo
homer in the sixth and a two-run shot in the eighth to stretch the lead back to
five.
Caissie tacked on a two-run homer in the ninth to put the game on ice.
Tyler Phillips worked 3 1/3 innings, allowing seven hits and five runs against
two strikeouts. Five Miami relievers combined for 5 2/3 innings of scoreless
ball, and Lake Bachar (1-0) picked up the win with two hitless innings.
Kurtz and Carlos Cortes paced the A's with two hits each. Jack Perkins (2-4)
allowed seven hits and seven runs to take the loss as the opener, striking out
eight.
