It’s hard to look at 3-0 loss to the Colorado Rockies and think that starter Sandy Alcantara pitched a solid game at Coors Field. The stats would tell you a different story. The 23-year-old once again took the mound for the Marlins and showed the signs of a developing, maturing pitcher whose lineup failed to give him any run support on Friday night.
The topic continues to be a major story of the 2019 season. For everything Alcantara did right, becoming only the seventh road pitcher since 2014 to go at least seven innings at Coors Field while giving up two or fewer runs and three or fewer hits, he could not get the victory and fell to 4-11 on the season.
