MIAMI — Sandy Alcantara threw a complete-game five-hitter, Luis Arraez homered and the Miami Marlins beat the New York Yankees 3-1 on Saturday.
Alcantara (5-10) struck out 10 in his major league-leading third complete game and first home win since going the distance against Minnesota on April 4. The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner coaxed 11 groundouts before a season-best crowd of 33,980.
"Today was as good as you've seen him," Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said. "Maybe the Twins game matches that, but where we are in the season for him to do that, it was a really impressive outing at a time where our team needed it the most.
