Kyle Stowers hits 3 homers, drives in 6 runs to lead Marlins past the Orioles 11-1
Stowers is the first Marlins player to hit three homers in a game since Brian Anderson on Sept. 18, 2020, in the second game of a doubleheader against Washington. The 27-yeaer-old left fielder also joins fellow Marlins Mike Lowell (2004) and Cody Ross (2006) in accomplishing the feat.
Ramón Laureano homered for Baltimore, which has lost consecutive games for the first time since July 1-2.
Stowers led off the second inning with a shot to right against Brandon Young (0-4) to open the scoring. An inning later, he sent Young's first-pitch curveball 398 feet for a two-run blast to right-center.
In the fifth, Stowers worked a 2-2 count before homering over the scoreboard in right. The 27-year-old had a base hit in the seventh and added an RBI single in the eighth for his first career five-hit game.
It was Stowers' fourth multi-homer game of the season. At the break, he has career highs in home runs (19) and RBIs (54).
Baltimore selected Stowers in the second round of the 2019 amateur draft. He debuted in 2022, and the Orioles sent him to Miami at last year's trade deadline as part of a package for pitcher Trevor Rogers.
Otto Lopez followed Stowers' homer in the third with a solo shot, the second time Miami hit consecutive home runs this season.
Miami starter Eury Pérez (3-2) allowed three hits and struck out six in seven shutout innings.
Young surrendered a career-high seven runs in 4 1/3 innings.
The game was delayed 1 hour, 38 minutes at the start due to rain.
Key moment
Stowers' third homer made it 7-0 and ended the day for Young, who gave up more home runs (four) than he had in his first five starts combined (three).

Grizzlies announce that Jaren Jackson Jr.'s renegotiation and extension is complete
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Jaren Jackson Jr.'s signing of a $239.9 million deal that keeps him under contract for the next five seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies finally became official Sunday, one day after the team reached a buyout agreement with guard Cole Anthony to facilitate the move. Jackson is now under contract through 2029-30, after renegotiating the final year of his current deal and getting a raise to $33 million for the coming season. The extension kicks in in 2026-27, starting with a salary of $46.2 million. The sides reached the agreement two weeks ago, but the Grizzlies needed to clear the space required to make the move happen before Jackson could actually sign the contract. He averaged 22.2 points and 5.6 rebounds for the Grizzlies in 74 games this past season and was an All-Star for the second time in his Memphis career. A three-time All-Defensive team pick — and the 2023 NBA defensive player of the year — Jackson has averaged 18.5 points and 5.5 rebounds in 407 career games with Memphis. Jackson had surgery for a turf toe injury earlier this month and will be re-evaluated likely sometime around the start of training camp this fall, though the Grizzlies haven't given any indication how long he will be sidelined to start the season. He suffered the injury in his right foot during offseason basketball activities, the team had said, adding that he is expected to have a full recovery. Locking up Jackson is part of a plan by Memphis to continue building around him and star point guard Ja Morant. Memphis was swept by eventual champion Oklahoma City in the first round of the playoffs in April. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. ___ AP NBA:
