Otto López hit a go-ahead two-run double in the eighth inning and the Miami Marlins beat the Kansas City Royals 3-1 on Saturday. Xavier Edwards tripled and doubled for the Marlins, who won their fourth straight and are 21-10 since June 13.

On Saturday, Quantrill crossed paths with the Royals again. And this time, he propelled the Marlins to victory at LoanDepot Park. The Royals logged just two hits against Quantrill, who remains undefeated against them.

MIAMI – Marlins right-hander Cal Quantrill tossed six scoreless innings and Otto Lopez drove in three runs in Saturday’s series-clinching 3-1 victory over the Royals at loanDepot park.

Marlins All-Star Kyle Stowers drove in five runs and hit a pair of home runs -- including a walk-off two-run blast in the 10th inning -- to lead the host Miami Marlins to an 8-7 win over the Kansas City Royals on Friday night.

What’s next: The Royals continue their weekend series at the Marlins. On Saturday, KC right-handed starter Michael Wacha (4-9, 3.74 ERA) will start opposite MLB veteran Cal Quantrill (3-8, 5.62 ERA) at 3:10 p.m. Central Time.

The Royals visit the Marlins, and I haven’t been this excited since Jimmy Fallon giggled for an hour on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”

For John Rave, the All-Star break was much more productive than a four-day hiatus from baseball. Instead, the work-focused break seemed to make quite the impact.

The Marlins are an average defensive team with Lopez, Edwards, and Myers providing strong defense up the middle. Ramirez has thrown out just 12 percent of would-be basestealers. The Marlins are a below-avearge base-stealing team, although they have a number of players that can be a threat to swipe a base.
