MIAMI -- The Miami Marlins exploded for a dozen runs Sunday afternoon, overpowering the Los Angeles Angels 12-3, but the victory was tempered by an early exit for outfielder Kyle Stowers. Stowers delivered a triple, a single, and two RBIs before leaving the game in the fifth inning with left hamstring discomfort, casting a shadow over an otherwise dominant performance by the Marlins.

Stowers grimaced as he rounded first base after his two-run single pushed the Marlins' lead to 10-2 in the bottom of the fifth. He was immediately replaced by pinch runner Leo Jimenez, and Marlins manager Clayton McCullough confirmed that Stowers would be evaluated further. The injury came during a breakout inning that saw Miami plate six runs, turning a tight contest into a rout.

The Marlins' offense was relentless throughout the day. Griffin Conine launched two home runs, including a two-run blast in the fifth off Angels reliever Shaun Anderson and a solo shot to lead off the eighth against position player Tyler Heineman, who was pressed into pitching duty. Javier Sanoja also had a productive afternoon, collecting two singles and driving in three runs, including a key RBI single in the fourth that extended Miami's lead to 4-2.

Otto López continued his remarkable season with two infield singles, giving him 46 multihit games this year. His ability to reach base consistently has been a catalyst for the Marlins' lineup. The bottom of the first inning set the tone: after falling behind 1-0, Miami answered with three runs. Stowers tripled and scored on a wild pitch, then an errant throw by Angels first baseman Nolan Schanuel, trying to nab Xavier Edwards at third, allowed Edwards to score. Owen Caissie capped the rally with an RBI single.

Los Angeles had grabbed an early lead in the top of the first when Zach Neto doubled to drive in a run. The Angels trimmed the deficit to 3-2 in the third inning on José Siri's solo homer to center field, his seventh of the season, off Marlins starter Ryan Gusto. But Miami's bullpen shut the door after Gusto departed. Gusto was pulled after four innings, having allowed two runs on three hits while striking out four and throwing 60 pitches. Michael Petersen (2-2) took over and tossed a scoreless fifth to earn the win.

Angels starter Grayson Rodriguez (3-5) struggled with command, walking four batters over four innings. He allowed four runs and four hits, striking out eight, but the damage was done early. The Marlins' relentless approach at the plate wore him down, and the bullpen couldn't contain the surge.

Looking ahead, the Angels will open a four-game home series against the Texas Rangers on Monday, with left-hander Reid Detmers (3-8, 4.12 ERA) taking the mound. The Rangers have not yet announced their starter. The Marlins, meanwhile, will host the Pittsburgh Pirates for a three-game set starting Tuesday, featuring right-hander Eury Pérez (5-9, 3.61) against Pirates right-hander Paul Skenes (9-10, 3.96).

The Marlins' offensive outburst was a welcome sight for a team that has struggled at times this season. Conine's two-homer game was a highlight, and Sanoja's production from the bottom of the order provided depth. But the biggest concern remains Stowers' hamstring. His status will be crucial as the Marlins push toward the final stretch of the season.
