Kyle Stowers obliterated the A’s pitching staff Friday night, smashing two homers and going 4-for-5 as the Marlins steamrolled to a 12-5 victory. Hernández, Marsee, and Caissie joined the party with long balls of their own, while Stowers’ late-game blasts in the 6th and 8th sealed the win. The Marlins jumped out to a 5-0 lead before the first out, fueled by Hernández’s three-run shot, a bases-loaded walk, and a passed ball. Despite a late A’s rally led by Kurtz and McNeil, Stowers’ power kept the damage minimal. Tyler Phillips struggled early, surrendering five runs, but the bullpen shut the door with five scoreless innings. Lake Bachar earned the win with two hitless frames. Jack Perkins took the loss for the A’s after giving up seven runs. The Marlins turn to Sandy Alcantara next.
