Kyle Stowers hit three home runs in a five-hit, six-RBI performance against his former team as the Miami Marlins blew past the host Baltimore Orioles 11-1 in the teams' final game before the All-Star break on Sunday afternoon.

Stowers had talked earlier in the series about his close ties to the Orioles, who drafted him and groomed him as he rose through the minor leagues. In the series finale, he provided his power production across the first five innings, racking up three homers and five runs batted in. The three homers tied a Marlins' franchise single-game record, and he ended the day 5-for-5 with four runs scored.

Otto Lopez also homered for the Marlins, who have won two games in a row and finished a 4-3 road trip that included an early stop in Cincinnati. Liam Hicks posted three hits, Agustin Ramirez added two safeties and scored three times and Jesus Sanchez and Lopez also contributed a pair of hits.

Eury Perez (3-2) pitched seven shutout innings for the victory, winning a decision for the third time in three starts this month. He gave up three hits without a walk and struck out six.

Brandon Young (0-4) took the loss, allowing seven runs, including four homers, in 4 1/3 innings. He was charged with nine hits while striking out four.

Ramon Laureano had a home run in the eighth inning off Calvin Faucher and added a double for Baltimore, which went 3-3 on the homestand.

Stowers homered in the second inning for the game's first run. His two-run shot in the third pushed the score to 5-0. Lopez made it back-to-back homers by belting his 11th.

The former Oriole's two-run blast in the fifth marked his 19th home run of the season. Stowers scored his fourth run of the game after singling in the seventh. He crossed the plate on Dane Myers' two-out single.

Then in the eighth, the first-time All-Star drove in a run with a single.

The game began following a 95-minute rain delay.
