The Miami Marlins beat the Kansas City Royals, 6-3, at LoanDepot Park. Brit Hicks starred for Miami. He was 1 for 1 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The first-place Marlins, at 57-39, lead the National League East Division by 3 games.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, Hicks hit a splitter from Ken Giles for a 3-run home run. The Marlins, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"I keep on showing up every day and trying to put up good at-bats and find good pitches to hit," said Hicks.
