Opening a three-game weekend series on the road against the Colorado Rockies, Bud Black’s group came out angry. They turned Friday night into a three-hour batting practice session, piling on 14 runs and 17 hits en route to a 14-2 victory over the Marlins.
As a professional baseball pitcher, you must have a turn-the-page attitude. Sandy Alcantara has been pretty efficient this season overall, but Friday was the right-hander’s worst outing of 2021. On May 14, Alcantara surrendered eight runs against a very, very talented Los Angeles Dodgers lineup, which was the most he allowed prior to Friday.
