Marlins News
Sandy Alcantara not only shone again but also proved to be a lifesaver for the Marlins, notching a critical save in their 3-2 victory over the Cubs, keeping Chicago from clinching a playoff spot. This win was essential in maintaining Miami's competitive spirit, as they continue to fight through a rough patch with nine players sidelined on the injured list. Josh Ekness electrified the mound with his blazing 102 mph fastball, a promising sign that the Marlins' pitching depth, though tested, still possesses raw talent. With a record of 77-80, the Marlins remain lukewarm, but the grit they showed against a playoff-hungry Cubs team signals that they won't give up easily, even as the season winds down.
