You could not have asked for a better ending to a forgetful season for the Miami Marlins.
As Joe Frisaro of MLB.com pointed out, “The Marlins salvaged the three-game series on Closing Day, finishing 57-105, and ended up 10-9 in the season series with the Phillies, the lone National League East rival they had a winning record against.”
But the game meant more than that for so many reasons in the 4-3 win on Sunday. It meant a win for Sandy Alcantara who had the best 6-14 season of any MLB starter in recent memory.
