Core Event
Miami Marlins first baseman Kyle Stowers left the game in the fifth inning after “tweaking” his left hamstring while running out of the batter’s box on a two-run single. He had gone 2-for-4, including a triple and two RBIs, before limping to the dugout and being replaced by pinch-runner Leo Jiménez. The Marlins held on for a 12-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
Background & Context
Stowers entered the season on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 strain to his right hamstring and did not make his MLB debut until April 19, after a five-game rehab stint with Triple-A Jacksonville. Since June 1, he had posted an .856 OPS with 39 RBIs across 56 games, and through the Sunday game he was batting .242 with 16 home runs, 52 RBIs and a .789 OPS for the season. The Marlins’ offense surged in the series, posting double-digit hits in three consecutive games and improving to a 60-59 record.
