MIAMI, Fla.—The Miami Marlins had another very disappointing loss early in the season. Everyone knew that the Marlins offense wasn’t going to be the team’s strength but this is bad. The Marlins had seven hits on the night but didn’t get the hits when they needed them most. As a team, the Marlins 1-for-13 with runs in scoring position.
The Marlins had their ace starting pitcher on the mound in Sandy Alcantara. The former Cardinals pitching prospect had a great outing, much like his Opening Day start against the Tampa Bay Rays on April 1. Alcantara matched his career high with 10 strikeouts.
