Marlins send All-Star Sandy Alcantara to the mound tonight
Can the Marlins Sanday Alcantara use tonight’s game against the Washington Nationals as a springboard to a successful second half of the 2019 season?
If Sandy Alcantara is going to take the next step in proving that he can be the ace of this Miami Marlins pitching staff, it needs to start tonight. His task is to take down the Washington Nationals.
The team’s only player to be chosen for the 2019 All-Star game in Cleveland next week, faces the Nationals after they lost 3-2 in walk-off fashion last night. The game was also delayed 76 minutes last night due to rain.
Currently, the 23-year-old is 4-7 this season, but owns a 3.86 ERA and has struck out 65 batters this season.
