Marlins News
Sandy Alcantara added another feather to his cap by setting the Marlins franchise record for career innings pitched, marking a significant milestone in a season that feels like it’s slipping away from Miami. With a 58-59 record, the team is treading water in the division, and their recent 3-4 loss to the Los Angeles Angels showcases the stark reality of their struggles. The offense is sputtering, averaging a meager 3.1 runs per game over the past week while being outscored by five runs in that stretch, indicating a dire need for a spark. As Alcantara thrives amidst the chaos, it’s a bittersweet reminder of what could be if the bats could come alive. This team can’t afford to dwell on records when the playoff push is fading fast.
