Marlins News
Sandy Alcantara turned heads last night, earning his first career save in a gritty 4-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks, just two days after throwing 101 pitches in a no-decision. This performance not only underscores Alcantara's resilience but also highlights the Marlins' reliance on their ace as they juggle a shaky pitching staff that's allowed 6.4 runs per game over the last week. While the offense is holding its own, averaging 6.0 runs, the team's postseason hopes hinge on tightening up the mound. With a record of 75-77, the Marlins sit mid-division, needing more from their arms if they want to climb back into contention. As they face the D-backs again today, the hope is that Alcantara's save will spark a turnaround.
