The Miami Marlins pulled by the Kansas City Royals 6-3 at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday night. The Fish continued their seven- game road trip.
It may be the final visit by the Marlins to that ballpark. The Royals will be moving out of that venue in a couple of years.
Miami(70-69) pushed out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the second. Graham Pauley socked a two-run homer to right field on a 1-1 count with Owen Caissie aboard. It was just the second home run by Pauley this year.
The Marlins increased their lead to 3-0 in the top of the fifth. Kyle Stowers pounded a solo home run to right field on a 0-1 pitch for his 17th homer of the season.
Kansas City(62-77) surrendered three more runs in the seventh inning and trailed 6-0. Pauley knocked in Otto Lopez and Joe Mack with a triple into the right-center field gap. Javier Sanoja followed with a base hit into left field and Pauley crossed the plate.
The Royals broke the shutout in the bottom of the eighth with two runs and were down 6-2. Carter Jensen doubled off the left-field wall and Josh Rojas touched home. Bobby Witt Jr. followed with a sacrifice fly to left field and Isaac Collins scored.
In the ninth inning, Kansas City cut it to 6-2. Nick Loftin bashed a solo homer to left field on a 0-1 pitch for his seventh home run of the campaign.
