Marlins walk off Royals behind Kyle Stowers huge night
Marlins All-Star Kyle Stowers drove in five runs and hit a pair of home runs -- including a walk-off two-run blast in the 10th inning -- to lead the host Miami Marlins to an 8-7 win over the Kansas City Royals on Friday night. Royals left fielder John Rave, a 27-year-old rookie, had a big game with his first two career homers and four RBIs. Adam Frazier, acquired from the Pirates on Wednesday, added a two-run, two-out, pinch-hit double in the top of the 10th that was soon overshadowed by Stowers. Miami is 20-10 over its past 30 games. Stowers slugged a two-run homer and blooped an RBI single in his first two at- bats. Stowers' third-inning single improved him to 8-for-8 with four homers, four singles, one hit-by-pitch, one walk and nine RBIs over consecutive 10 plate appearances. He finished Friday's game going 3-for-5 with five RBIs. He is the first player in Marlins history to hit five homers in a two-game stretch. Neither starter earned a decision. Miami's Sandy Alcantara allowed eight hits, two walks and four runs in six innings, striking out two. Kansas City's Seth Lugo allowed eight hits and five runs -- both season highs -- in six innings. He struck out five without walking anybody. There was a scary moment in the third inning as Agustin Ramirez hit a deep drive to left-center. Rave caught the ball a split-second before center fielder Kyle Isbel undercut him, and the two players collided. Both remained in the game, however. Miami opened the scoring in the first as Jesus Sanchez clubbed a solo homer on a high sinker, and Stowers slugged his two-run shot following a Ramirez single. The Marlins increased their lead to 5-0 in the third. Xavier Edwards started the rally with a leadoff double that one-hopped the wall in left-center. Otto Lopez drove him in with a one-out double that bounced high off the wall in left-center before Stowers capped the rally with a two-out bloop RBI single. The Royals got on the board in the fourth as Maikel Garcia and Salvador Perez opened the inning with singles. With one out and runners on the corners, Nick Loftin picked up an RBI with a chopped single to third that bounced about 20 feet high. Four pitches later, Rave slugged a three-run homer, cutting Kansas City's deficit to 5-4. Rave homered again in the ninth, tying the score 5-5 and resulting in Calvin Faucher's blown save. After Frazier's big hit in the top of the 10th off Lake Bachar (5-0), the Marlins scored three of All-Star closer Carlos Estevez (4-3), with Ramirez singling home Derek Hill before Stowers' winning blast.

Royals rookie John Rave honors late dad on first Father's Day as MLB player
Royals rookie John Rave honors late dad on first Father's Day as MLB player Show Caption Hide Caption Seattle Mariners' newest player shares promotion with family Cole Young announces his move to the big leagues playing for Seattle Mariners during an emotional phone call with his family. Kansas City Royals rookie outfielder John Rave stands at attention during the national anthem played before each game, but he's quietly having a private conversation to the loved one no one can see. When Rave leaves the on-deck circle to hit, he draws a cross in the dirt with his spikes in the corner of the batter's box. He steps back, touches his forehead, then his heart, and his shoulders from left to right. He glances towards the left-field foul pole, then a brief prayer, and says, 'Let's go." Rave, 27, does this every single game, and will do so again Sunday afternoon against the Athletics at Kauffman Stadium. Only this time, it will be much more emotional. You see, today is Father's Day. This is Rave's first Father's Day as a Major League baseball player. It will also be his first Father's Day as a major leaguer without his father. 'I can't begin to tell you how much I miss him," Rave says. 'I think of him every single day, every time I put on my uniform, every time I step to the plate. He meant everything to me. 'He was my biggest fan." Mike Rave was John's coach growing up. He and his wife, Sue, were the ones who were always at his games growing up, from T-ball to Little League to Central Catholic High School in Bloomington, Illinois, to Illinois State. They were there, of course, when he was selected in the fifth round of the 2019 draft by the Royals. Mike Rave, who spend his entire career as a proud insurance agent for State Farm, passed away less than a year later on Feb. 18, 2020. He was feeling ill at work, went home, fell down a flight of stairs, died from internal bleeding. John, who had just arrived into town a night earlier for a quick visit before returning to the Royals' complex in Surprise, Arizona, never got a chance to say good-bye. 'It still hurts, it always will," Rave says. 'We would talk after all every game. He always believed I could make it. He always gave me that confidence. Now, not to share this with him, it hurts.'' Rave wasn't even sure he wanted to keep playing baseball after his father passed, and certainly wasn't ready to immediately report to the Royals' minor-league camp. His big brother, Matt, assured him that he needed to leave. It was natural to grieve, but he couldn't discard his dreams. 'He didn't want to go back right away," says Matt Rave, 30, a commodity broker in the Bloomington, Illinois area. 'I told him, 'You have to go play ball. That's what you need to do. This is what Dad would want.'" Rave went back to the Royals' camp, kept grinding through the minor leagues for seven years, and two weeks before the callup of his buddy, prized outfield prospect Jac Caglianone, got the call he waited his whole life for. He was going to the big leagues. The trouble was letting everyone know. He called his wife, Amy, but the cell phone reception was so spotty she wasn't sure what was happening. 'It was probably the weirdest call-up ever," says Amy. 'I knew the game was starting, and I knew he wasn't playing, but I was confused why he was calling me. I'm in the middle of nowhere and he says he's going to Kansa City, but wasn't sure he was going to be activated. I didn't even know what he meant." He twice called his mom, Sue, but she was having lunch with friends and never picked up. She finally called back, but the service was so bad, she didn't know what was happening until calling Amy. 'I was so excited, I couldn't even function," Sue Rave says. 'I left my friends, gave them money, and headed home to pack. I kept saying, 'Oh my God, my son made it. My kid is a big-leaguer. That's John Rave. I'm his mother. I'm the mother of a major-league baseball player.' It's so surreal." There were calls to his big brother, Matt, and his sister, Sarah, 31. The next thing they all knew, they were driving six hours to Kansas City, renting an Airbnb, sitting in a suite at Kauffman Stadium, and screaming and hugging when Rave got his first hit on a bunt against the Cincinnati Reds. Only for the call to be painfully overturned. The first hit became only a sacrifice bunt. It wasn't until two days later when he made sure his first hit couldn't be overturned with a double to right field off ace Hunter Greene. 'Mike would have just been over the moon to see this," says Sue, who was married 23 years to Mike. 'When John got called up, Mike probably would have taken out a billboard to let everyone know. It's so sad he's not here, but he is here. We feel him.'' John feels his presence too, and constantly finds himself talking to him, whether it's in the dugout, standing in the outfield, or in the batter's box. When he hits a home run, he'll point to the sky looking up to his dad, pump his fist, as if his Mike could feel the strength of those knuckles. 'It's almost like a sense of calmness talking to him," says Rave, who's hitting .240 with a .606 OPS as the Royals' speedy reserve outfielder. 'I know my dad's still here. He's watching. He's got the best seat in the house. I know he's there every game with me. 'And I know he always will be." Father's Day, and every day. Follow Nightengale on X: @Bnightengale
