Kyle Stowers hit a three-run homer and the Miami Marlins completed the first sweep of the New York Yankees in franchise history — a 7-3 victory on Sunday.
The Marlins (55-55) won all three games against the Yankees (60-52) to reach .500 for the first time since April 15. They became the first MLB team to go from 16 or more games under .500 to a .500 record since the Rays in 2014.
Stowers made it 6-1 when he connected on an 0-2 fastball from Brent Headrick, who entered in the fourth with two on after starter Luis Gil (0-1) was lifted 3 1/3 innings into his season debut.
Gil, the reigning AL Rookie of the Year, struck out three and surrendered five runs and five hits while issuing four walks in his return from a high-grade lat strain. He threw 77 pitches.
Marlins starter Edward Cabrera (5-5) pitched six innings of two-hit ball with seven strikeouts and one walk. His only blemish came against the first batter he faced. Trent Grisham drove Cabrera's 98.1 mph four-seam fastball to right-center.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. launched a two-run homer off Josh Simpson that pulled New York within 6-3 in the seventh, as "Let's go Yankees!" chants erupted at LoanDepot Park. Marsee then ripped an RBI triple to center in the bottom half that stretched the lead to four.
Xavier Edwards had two hits, including an RBI single. Troy Johnston had a run-scoring double.
Miami is 24-24 against the Yankees, including the postseason, becoming the only franchise the Yankees don't have a winning record against.

Yankees' Aaron Boone Gives Blunt Assessment Of Luis Gil's 'Inconsistent' Debut
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Luis Gil made his season debut for the Yankees on Sunday. He had been on the injured list with a lat strain all season. Gil's debut did not go too well. He gave up five earned runs in 3 1/3 innings of work, capping off what was an embarrassing weekend for the Yankees. Gil was the American League Rookie of the Year last year, but Aaron Boone did not hold back when discussing what went wrong with Gil's return. NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 08: Luis Gil #81 of the New York Yankees hands the ball to manager Aaron Boone #17 during a game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium on September... NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 08: Luis Gil #81 of the New York Yankees hands the ball to manager Aaron Boone #17 during a game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium on September 8, 2021 in New York City. More"Obviously, a struggle," Boone said of Gil's outing, per the New York Post's Dave Blezow. "Just no real command today. I thought he started to maybe get a little bit of rhythm there in the third (which he ended with two strikeouts), but then that kind of went away. "He flashed some of his stuff," Boone continued. "I thought he did some good things down in the zone, especially with some of their lefties. But just, you know, [he was] too inconsistent with the strike throwing." The Yankees need to start playing better baseball quickly if they want to make the postseason. Gil threw 77 pitches, only 44 for strikes. He walked four batters and struck out just three. He did note what few positives there may have been. "I felt really, really good, and that's what's important," Gil said through an interpreter, per Blezow. "If you've got to take something positive from an outing, today health was big, coming back being healthy. But also the movement of the pitches was there." Gil was supposed to come back and be another reliable arm next to Max Fried and Carlos Rodón. He can still turn things around in his next start and help the Yankees turn things around. However, if he cannot be a positive force, the Yankees may have a problem. More MLB: Yankees' Cody Bellinger Predicted to Ditch Bronx for Multi-Year Deal With NL West Squad

Kaden Honeycutt reacts to being dropped by Niece Motorsports
News broke around midday Monday that Niece Motorsports has parted ways with NASCAR Truck Series driver Kaden Honeycutt ahead of this weekend's race at Watkins Glen. Honeycutt reacted shortly after. In a press release posted on Twitter, Honeycutt thanked the organization. He also expressed hope for his future. 'I would like to thank Niece Motorsports, specifically Al Niece, Cody Efaw and Phil Gould, as well as Josh Morris with DQS and Jason Wilson with Precision Vehicle Logistics, for the opportunity to drive the No. 45 Chevrolet in 2025,' Kaden Honeycutt wrote. 'My plan is to continue to contend for race wins and position myself to make the playoffs this season. I look forward to sharing my plans for the remainder of 2025 and beyond in the near future.' Niece Motorsports announced that Connor Zilish will fill in this weekend at Watkins Glen, putting him on tap for a triple event at the track. Following that, Bayley Currey will be the replacement driver for the No. 45 for the rest of the season. 'Niece Motorsports has released Kaden Honeycutt from his driving duties for the organization, effective immediately,' a press release from Niece Motorsports read. '… Honeycutt has signed a contract to race with a different Truck Series organization and OEM in 2026 — making this change allows our team the opportunity to begin building for next year.' Kaden Honeycutt is 6th in points this season and is in position to make the Truck Series Playoffs. The rest of this season, he is likely headed to Toyota and Tricon Garage, according to Bob Pockrass of FOX Sports. Connor Zilisch reacts to Niece Motorsports news The fact that Connor Zilisch is talented enough and has the passion to do a triple duty NASCAR weekend at 19 years old is wild. Everyone knows that Kyle Busch is the only driver to ever sweep a weekend at he same track. He has done it twice, both times at Bristol. Zilisch won the ARCA and Xfinity Series races at the track last year. Now, he returns for Truck, Xfinity, and Cup Series action. He's going to have to fight off seriously talented drivers to get the job done, too. 'Excited to get back in a truck with [Niece Motorsports] this weekend at my favorite track! Triple duty,' Zilisch posted with an emoji that indicated a bit of confusion and anxiety. It was known that Connor Zilisch was racing Xfinity and Cup this weekend for a while. Zilisch's limited Cup schedule was expanded to include The Glen weeks ago. Of course, he is full-time in Xfinity so he was always racing in that event. On3's Jonathan Howard also contributed to this report.
