Marlins face Pirates after late heroics on Tuesday night

What does Sandy Alcantara have to do to earn a victory? The Marlins pitcher once again had a solid outing, but could not muster a win. The Marlins needed extra innings to gain the “W” in Pittsburgh, 5-4 on Tuesday night.

The teams meet on Wednesday night with Robert Dugger getting the ball in his third start of his Major League Career. The Marlins are now 49-88 on the season with 25 games remaining. Miami would need to go 16-9 in that span to top the 64 wins from last season.

By all accounts, based on the team’s efforts of late, that accomplishment looks bleak.
