Down the Dorsal: Sandy Alcantara’s Complete Game vs. Cardinals Had Everything

Filed under:

Fish Stripes rewinds to one of 2022’s most satisfying Marlins wins.

We’re going back to June 29 of last year against the Cardinals. Morale was pretty low for the 33-40 Marlins, but Sandy Alcantara pitched an incredible game (as he always does).

The Marlins were down a run entering the ninth inning and on the ropes against St. Louis closer Ryan Helsley. Down to their final out, Avisaíl García stepped up. In the midst of the worst season of his life, I can hardly describe how much of a miracle it was when he blasted a go-ahead home run to center field.
