Ace Sandy Alcántara has been one of the few bright spots for the Marlins in their forgettable 2021 season. He’s been outstanding and durable as the front man of their starting rotation throughout the whole campaign. In his next start, he will have the chance to close the regular season in fashion with yet another notable achievement.
Alcántara—whose final outing will come against the Phillies on Friday at LoanDepot Park—surpassed the 200-inning threshold on Saturday for the first time in his career. He delivered another quality start but took the loss for the 14th time in 2021.
