MIAMI (AP) — Kyle Stowers hit a two-run walk-off homer in the 10th inning and finished with three hits as the Miami Marlins defeated the Kansas City Royals 8-7 on Friday night.

Stowers had already tied a Marlins franchise record with his fourth home run in two games when he hit a three-run shot in the first inning. After Miami had built — then squandered — a 5-0 lead, the first-time All-Star followed with the biggest swing of the game against Carlos Estévez (4-3) that sent the winning shot 394 feet to right field.

Stowers went 3 for 5 and reached base in his first two at-bats to extend his on-base streak to 10 plate appearances, also tying a club record.

Adam Frazier entered as a pinch-hitter in the 10th and drove in automatic runner Jonathan India and Bobby Witt Jr, who had reached on an infield single. Frazier doubled to right off Lake Bachar (5-0) to give Kansas City the lead entering the bottom half.

In the Marlins' 10th, Agustín Ramírez drove in automatic runner Derek Hill with a single before Stowers' walk-off.

Kansas City had erased a five-run deficit with a four-run fourth against Sandy Alcantara, the 2022 Cy Young Award winner who hasn’t quite returned to form since missing the 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery.

Alcantara gave up hits to three of the first four batters he faced in the inning. John Rave then went deep off the Marlins veteran for his first major league home run, pulling his team within a run.

Rave hit the tying homer in the ninth off Calvin Faucher to send the game to extra innings.

Stowers' walk-off in the 10th was the second walk-off homer of his career.

Miami has seven walk-off victories this season.

RHP Michael Wacha (4-9, 3.74) starts the second game of the series for the Royals against Marlins RHP Cal Quantrill (3-8, 5.62).

HAMILTON, Ontario - Former Fort Hays State running back Shane Watts was signed by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League (CFL), announced on July 16, 2025. Watts played four years at Fort Hays State and wrapped his collegiate career with All-America honors as one of the top running backs in NCAA Division II in 2024.

Watts was an All-America Second Team selection in 2024 by three separate organizations, including the D2CCA, Associated Press (AP), and Don Hansen Football Committee. He was also named to the D2Football.com Elite 100 Team. He was an All-MIAA First Team selection as an all-purpose back, finishing the year with 1,303 rushing yards and 449 receiving yards for 1,752 all-purpose yards. He scored 17 touchdowns for the season, including 13 rushing and four receiving.

By the end of the 2024 season, Watts ranked fourth nationally in all-purpose yards per game (160.8), fourth in total rushing yards, sixth in rushing yards per game (118.5), seventh in scoring (9.3 points per game), and eighth in total touchdowns. He became the first FHSU player in program history to rush for 200 or more yards in consecutive games, going for 201 against Missouri Southern on October 26 and then 250 against Emporia State on November 2.

Watts spent the first two years of his collegiate career as a defensive back with the Tigers, recording 14 tackles, before transitioning to the offensive side of the ball as a running back in 2023. In his two years as a running back, Watts produced a total of 1,979 rushing yards and 606 receiving yards with 23 total touchdowns.

Watts is the second senior from the 2024 FHSU roster to sign with a Canadian Football League team in 2025. Wide receiver Jayden Horace signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders back in April.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are currently in the middle of their 2025 regular season schedule, which began back on June 7. They are 3-2 overall through five games.

DALLAS (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was sentenced to 30 days in jail on Thursday after authorities said he and another speeding driver caused a chain-reaction crash that left multiple people injured on a Dallas highway last year.

The Dallas County District Attorney’s Office said Rice pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury in the March 30, 2024, crash. As part of a plea agreement, Rice was sentenced to five years of deferred probation and 30 days in jail as a condition of his probation, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors said he was also required to pay the victims for their out-of-pocket medical expenses, which totaled about $115,000.

Rice was driving a Lamborghini Urus SUV at 119 mph (191 kph) when he made “multiple aggressive maneuvers around traffic” and struck other vehicles, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said that after the crash, Rice failed to check on the welfare of those in the other vehicles and fled on foot.

The news release from prosecutors included a statement from Rice that was released by his attorney. Rice said in the statement that he’s had “a lot of sleepless nights thinking about the damages that my actions caused, and I will continue working within my means to make sure that everyone impacted will be made whole.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—The Kansas City Royals announced Wednesday morning that they have acquired infielder/outfielder Adam Frazier from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for infielder Cam Devanney.

Frazier, 33, has played in 78 games (63 starts) for the Pirates this season, slashing .255/.318/.336 (60-for-235) with 17 walks, 10 doubles, 21 RBI and 22 runs scored. He’s batting .310 (27-for-87) with runners on base, including a .289 clip (13-for-45) with runners in scoring position.

He’s made starts at second base (47), left field (12) and right field (4) with the Pirates this year, and over the course of his 10-year Major League career, he’s appeared at every position except pitcher and catcher.

Frazier returns to Kansas City, where he spent the entire 2024 season and played in 104 games for the Royals, while reaching base safely in 46 of his 72 starts. He won Major League Baseball’s Electric Play of the Week Award for his play on April 26, 2024 in Detroit, where he robbed Parker Meadows of a home run at the right field fence, before throwing out Javier Báez at first base to turn the double play.

He’s spent most of his time playing second base, however, as his 673 games played as a second baseman since the start of 2019 are the 4th most in the Majors, behind only Ozzie Albies (749), Jose Altuve (715) and Marcus Semien (712). His .989 fielding percentage at second base during that span is tied for the 2nd-best rate in the Majors, trailing just Albies (.990).

Devanney, 28, had his contract selected by Kansas City on July 8, but has not yet made his Major League debut. He was originally acquired by the Royals in a trade with Milwaukee in December 2023.

Albright also earned All-America status throughout his career as a member of the distance medley relay team in 2024, the 4x100 meter relay team in 2021, the 4x400 meter relay team in 2021, and the 400-meter dash individually in 2023. Albright was a two-time MIAA champion in relay events and a nine-time All-MIAA performer overall. He was a six-time USTFCCCA All-Region performer. He currently owns two individual FHSU records and was a member of five record-holding relay teams at FHSU.

Academically, Albright has earned the MIAA Scholar-Athlete honor seven times. He is a nine-time member of the MIAA Academic Honor Roll. Albright held a 3.78 cumulative GPA in his undergraduate studies and has maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA working on a professional studies graduate degree.

Albright is one of 15 FHSU student-athletes to earn multiple Academic All-America recognitions and is just the second athlete in school history to do so three times, joining Jesse Trent who earned the honor in football from 2012 to 2014.

Albright gives FHSU its 78th CSC Academic All-America selection all-time for all sports. He is the seventh individual from FHSU to receive the distinction in 2024-25, joining Tadhg Walsh (men's soccer), Myles Menges and Josh Shaw (football), Katie DeGarmo (women's basketball), Cooper Scheck (men's golf), and Emily Diercks (women's cross country/track and field). The seven Academic All-America selections for FHSU is the second-most for a year in school history, just one behind the eight selected during the 2022-23 academic year.

Fort Hays State's first CSC Academic All-America selection occurred in 1975. FHSU now has 48 Academic All-America selections since joining the MIAA in 2006-07. The track and field program at FHSU has now received 21 CSC Academic All-America selections all-time. Overall, FHSU produced an impressive 18 Academic All-America selections for all sports over the last three academic years.
