Pauley Shines as Marlins Edge Royals | MLB News

0:00On September 2nd, Graham Polly was the man on Tuesday night, dropping a homer and a triple that brought in four runs. Kyle Stowers also went yard, and the Miami Marlins took down the Kansas City Royals with a final score of 6-3. Tyler Phillips got the win for Miami, going five innings and only giving up one hit. He struck out four batters. The bullpen came in and shut things down, with Tyler Zuber closing out the ninth. Polly called up for his fifth stint with the team this year, hit a two run homer in the second inning. Then in the seventh, his triple brought in two more runs, sealing the deal against Kansas City starter. Kansas City tried to make a comeback in the eighth, with Carter Jensen hitting an RBI double, and Bobby with Jr. adding a sacrifice fly. Their manager even got tossed in the eighth, after a bought call was reversed, which would have made it a closer game. The Royals managed one more run in the ninth on a homer, but it wasn't enough. The Marlins are still three games back in the wildcard race. MLB News today, powered by AI bringing you what matters on the diamond.
