Ronald Acuna helped his team muscle past the Kansas City Royals, 10-4. In the game, the Miami designated hitter went 4 for 5 with 2 home runs and a triple. He scored 4 times and drove in 5. Mike Leake earned the win for Miami. He lasted 6 innings, allowing 4 earned runs on 8 hits, while striking out 4. With the win, he raised his record to 6-10. Kansas City's current losing streak has reached 4 games.

Acuna contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Miami in the bottom of the first. With his team trailing 1-0, Acuna took a curveball from Tyler Lyons and stroked the home run to left. His 21st home run of the season allowed the Marlins to leap in front, 2-1.

"In baseball, you have your ups and downs," said Kansas City manager Mike Roltgen. "You just try to stay level-headed the whole time."
