Entering Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins, Athletics closer Mason Miller was a perfect 10-for-10 in save opportunities.
Miami had plans to ruin that perfect streak and it did just that, highlighted by a walk-off grand slam from right fielder Kyle Stowers.

The grand slam for Stowers was his second home run of the game. It capped off the five-run ninth inning for Miami.
As previously mentioned, the blown save for Miller was his first of the season and it inflated his ERA to 4.97 for the season.
Stowers' walk-off grand slam was the sixth in franchise history and first since April 18, 2014, when Giancarlo Stanton did it against the Seattle Mariners.
