MIAMI – The struggles continued for Miami Marlins right-handed pitcher Sandy Alcantara in a 6-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays Wednesday afternoon at loanDepot park.
Alcantara, who got out of the first inning unharmed, allowed five runs the very next time on the hill. Alcantara would go on to look like his dominant self from the 2022 season, throwing five consecutive scoreless frames.
