The Miami Marlins delivered a resounding 11-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on July 13, 2025, at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, powered by Kyle Stowers’ historic three-home-run performance. The Miami Marlins, holding a 44-51 record and third place in the NL East, showcased their offensive depth against the fifth-place Orioles (43-52) in the AL East, closing their three-game series with a dominant win.
Stowers’ Career Day Lifts Miami Marlins
Kyle Stowers, a former Oriole traded to the Miami Marlins in 2024, stole the show by hitting three home runs, driving in six RBIs. His first, a solo shot in the second inning (403 feet, 105.6 mph), opened the scoring. In the third, Stowers’ two-run homer (398 feet, 106.1 mph) scored Agustín Ramírez, pushing the Miami Marlins’ lead to 4-0. His third homer in the fifth, another two-run blast (364 feet, 101.1 mph), made it 7-0, ending the day for Orioles starter Brandon Young. Stowers went 5-for-5 with 14 total bases, becoming the first Marlins player to hit three homers in a game since Brian Anderson in 2020.
Otto Lopez added a solo home run for the Miami Marlins in the third (379 feet, 98.3 mph), while Ramírez drove in a run with a single. The team’s 18 hits included doubles from Jesús Sánchez, Nick Fortes, Ramírez, Xavier Edwards, and Aaron Hicks, who also contributed an RBI via a sacrifice fly. The Miami Marlins capitalized on 6-for-11 hitting with runners in scoring position, showcasing their clutch performance.
Pérez Dominates on the Mound
Eury Pérez led the Miami Marlins’ pitching effort, earning the win (3-2, 3.18 ERA) with seven shutout innings, allowing three hits and striking out six on 84 pitches (60 strikes). His command stifled the Orioles, who were caught stealing twice. Reliever Peter Faucher allowed a solo home run to Ramón Laureano in the eighth, the Orioles’ only run, while Josh Simpson closed out the ninth. The Miami Marlins’ pitching induced a double play and limited Baltimore to five hits.
Orioles Overwhelmed by Marlins’ Attack
The Baltimore Orioles struggled against the Miami Marlins’ offensive onslaught. Brandon Young (0-4, 7.52 ERA) took the loss, allowing seven runs on nine hits, including four home runs, in 4.1 innings. Relievers Wolfram, Selby, Cano, and Kittredge couldn’t contain the Miami Marlins, with Cano surrendering three runs in the eighth. Laureano’s solo homer (426 feet, 107 mph) was Baltimore’s lone bright spot, as they went 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position.
