Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers hits three homers against Orioles
BALTIMORE (AP) — Miami Marlins left fielder Kyle Stowers has hit a career-high three home runs in Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The 27-year-old is the fourth player in Marlins history with a three-homer game and the first since Brian Anderson did it on Sept. 18, 2020, in the second game of a doubleheader against Washington. Mike Lowell (2004) and Cody Ross (2006) also did it. Stowers, whom Baltimore selected in the second round of the 2019 amateur draft and traded to Miami last July as part of a package to land pitcher Trevor Rogers, homered in all three plate appearances against O's starter Brandon Young. Stowers, who earned his first All-Star selection earlier this month, lofted a 1-1 pitch to right-center to lead off the second inning. The next inning, he lined a first-pitch curveball to right-center to make it 4-0. After working a 2-2 count in the fifth, Stowers pulled a two-run shot over the scoreboard in right to extend the lead to 7-0. It is Stowers' fourth multi-homer game this season. ___ More AP MLB:

Mike Trout Has Clear Message With Angels Facing Trade Decision
Mike Trout Has Clear Message With Angels Facing Trade Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Angels have dealt with an injury to their best player and an unexpected coaching change, but they're still standing. The team is 47-48 heading into Sunday's bout with the Arizona Diamondbacks despite future Hall of Famer Mike Trout previously missing time with a knee injury and manager Ron Washington stepping away for health reasons. Advertisement Los Angeles is three games behind the Seattle Mariners for the AL's third and final Wild Card spot. The club has a chance of making the playoffs for the first time since 2014. However, the front office must decide how confident it is in its squad. If it thinks this success is a mirage, it could be sellers rather than buyers as the July 31 MLB trade deadline approaches. Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout (27)Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Trout thinks that the front office believes in the club, via The Athletic's Sam Blum. 'I think they know [of the team's potential]. They're down here, they see it and they feel it,' the three-time AL MVP said. 'They know the guys we got in this clubhouse. It's fun to come to the ballpark.' Advertisement The Angels are 5-5 in their last 10 games and are 24-22 at home. One of the players who could be traded is closer Kenley Jansen, via Blum. The 37-year-old, who is MLB's active saves leader, signed a one-year deal with Los Angeles this past offseason. He has a 3.38 ERA and 16 saves over 38 appearances this season. The Angels will hit the road to face the Philadelphia Phillies after the All-Star break.
