Alcantara shuts down Braves with six-hitter

MIAMI — Sandy Alcantara pitched a six-hitter and the Miami Marlins beat the Atlanta Braves 4-3 on Sunday.

The 26-year-old-Alcantara (4-2) limited the Braves to three unearned runs and six hits. He walked two and struck out seven for his fourth career complete game.

“I’m excited every time I go nine innings,” Alcantara said. “They know that I go out with the mentality to finish the game. They believe in me and they gave me the opportunity.”

Atlanta star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. had two of the hits against Alcantara, extending his on base games streak to 29.
