Jorge Alfaro, seen here attempting to tag out Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (10) on Friday, April 12, 2019, had two hits against his former team and has started to become a more vocal presence for the Marlins this year. MATIAS J. OCNER mocner@miamiherald.com
On the day that All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto made his return to Marlins Park for the first time as a visitor, two players the Miami Marlins acquired when they traded Realmuto away proved their worth.
While the Marlins lost 9-1 to the Phillies on Friday to start their nine-game homestand, catcher Jorge Alfaro went 2-for-4 and scored Miami’s lone run of the game in the bottom of the seventh on an Austin Dean sacrifice fly.
