Miami Marlins beat Kansas City Royals as Randy Dobnak allows six runs

The Miami Marlins defeated the Kansas City Royals 6-3 at Kauffman Stadium on September 1, 2026. Kansas City pitcher Randy Dobnak allowed six earned runs across seven innings of work, including home runs from Graham Pauley and Kyle Stowers. The Royals offense struggled to generate momentum for much of the night, recording only four baserunners through the first seven innings of play. An eighth-inning rally by the Royals prompted a dispute after umpires reversed a balk call, leading to the ejection of manager Matt Quatraro. While Nick Loftin added a late solo home run, the team could not overcome the deficit. Kansas City has now lost two consecutive games, significantly diminishing their remaining postseason prospects.
