It would appear every time to turn around, the Miami Marlins and Washington Nationals are facing each other. The three-game series the two teams begin tonight will be the last of the 2018 season. Miami sends rookie Sandy Alcantara to the mound.
While the Nationals are 78-78 for the season and hoping to finish above .500, the Marlins are riding a three-game win streak
Alcantara hopes this time out, he will last a bit longer in the game and be on the winning end instead of suffering his second straight loss. He is walking into a situation where the last three starters – Wei-Yin Chen, Jose Urena, and rookie Trevor Richards – all pitched about as well as the organization could have asked for to close out the team’s final homestand of the year.
