Sandy Alcantara escaped the first jam he faced on Friday night against the Philadelphia Phillies with relative ease.
After loading the bases with the first three batters he faced, the hard-throwing righty struck out Rhys Hoskins with a 94 mph four-seam fastball and forced J.T. Realmuto to ground into a double play.
He wasn’t as fortunate the second time he got into trouble.
