In his penultimate bid to start the National League All-Star game, Sandy Alcantara was more of the same, and by that, we mean more of baseball’s best pitcher in 2022.
Scattering 6 hits, Alcantara authored 7 scoreless innings, striking out 4 on 93 pitches in Sunday’s 2-0 victory over the Mets. The Marlins’ ace extends his streak of at least 7 innings pitched to 12 and lowers his season ERA to 1.73.
In relief of their ace, Anthony Bass, Richard Bleier, and Tanner Scott - the latter converting his 12th save after suffering yesterday’s extra-inning loss - each worked scoreless innings.
