Miami Marlins Game Information - Sunday, May 4 vs. ATH

MAYHEM IN MIAMI:
Yesterday’s walk-off grand slam by OF Kyle Stowers marked the 6th occurrence in Franchise history. The others to do it are: Bobby Bonilla (9/16/97 vs. COL); Dan Uggla (6/11/08 vs. PHI); Giancarlo Stanton (5/13/12 vs. NYM); Jeff Mathis (6/30/13 vs. SD); and Giancarlo Stanton (4/18/14 vs. SEA). Stowers is the first player to accomplish the feat this season; the last MLB player to do so was TEX’s Wyatt Langford on Sept. 3, 2024 vs. the Yankees (off Clay Holmes).

With the performances by Stowers and CLE’s Daniel Schneemann, today marked the 1st time in MLB history that multiple players had multi-HR G, including a go-ahead grand slam in the 9th inning or later. – courtesy of Elias Sports Bureau
