Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Nabs victory despite poor control
Rotowire
Alcantara (9-4) earned the win over Colorado on Monday, allowing five runs on seven hits and five walks while striking out three batters over 5.2 innings.
Alcantara had a rough beginning to his outing, giving up five runs by the end of the third inning. However, he was able to keep the Rockies off the scoreboard for the remainder of his time in the game, and Miami's offense provided enough support to gift the right-hander the win. Despite earning the victory, Alcantara was far from sharp -- he threw only 55 of 96 pitches for strikes and served up five free passes, his second-highest total of the season. Nonetheless, he wrapped up June by going 6-0 over his six starts to push his record to 9-4 on the campaign. Among MLB hurlers, only Aaron Ashby (11) has more victories than Alcantara to this point.

Rotowire
Alcantara (8-4) earned the win against the Rangers on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks with four strikeouts over 6.2 innings.

Per Christina De Nicola of MLB.com, he passed Ricky Nolasco to become the Marlins' all-time strikeout leader (1,002) in the seventh frame. The 30-year-old Alcantara will carry a 4.01 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 81:27 K:BB across 110 innings this season into a road matchup against the Rockies next week.

Rotowire
Alcantara (7-4) picked up the win in Wednesday's 12-4 romp over the Phillies, giving up four runs (two earned) on eight hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out six.
The veteran righty got tagged for two runs in each of the first two innings, with two errors and a balk contributing to the damage in the second frame, but Alcantara kept his focus and shut the door the rest of the way while while getting backed by 13 hits and five homers from Miami's bats. The quality start was Alcantara's 11th of the season and fourth straight, a stretch in which he's posted a 2.89 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 25:3 K:BB over 28 innings while winning all four outings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next trip to the mound, which is set to come at home early next week against the Rangers.

Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Fans seven in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Alcantara (5-4) earned the win against the Rays on Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out seven across seven innings.
It was another strong effort by Alcantara, with his lone blemish being an RBI single that he gave up to Yandy Diaz in the third inning. Alcantara tossed 58 strikes on 90 pitches while generating 11 whiffs, and his seven strikeouts matched a season high that he set against the White Sox on April 1. He's logged a quality start in back-to-back outings and now sits at a 4.33 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 89.1 innings this season. He's also up to 57 career wins with the Marlins, which is third-most in franchise history behind Ricky Nolasco (81) and southpaw Dontrelle Willis (68). Alcantara is slated to start next weekend on the road against the Pirates.
Alcantara (4-4) earned the win Monday against the Nationals after allowing three runs on seven hits across seven innings, striking out five.
This was far from Alcantara's best outing of the season, but it was a step in the right direction after giving up eight runs with a 4:1 K:BB across 5.2 innings against the Blue Jays last week. Alcantara has been wildly inconsistent of late, and even though he has three quality starts over his last five appearances, he also sports a 5.58 ERA with a 1.34 WHIP over that stretch, albeit with a 21:3 K:BB. Alcantara is scheduled to make his next start over the weekend at home against the Rays.
Alcantara (3-4) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing eight runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out four across 5.2 innings.
Alcantara gave up two runs over the first five innings of Tuesday's start and was brought back out for the sixth to secure his eighth quality start of the season. He gave up a solo home run to the first batter he faced in the frame, Yohendrick Pinango, and that turned out to be a sign of things to come for the right-hander. After getting the next two Blue Jays out, Alcantara proceeded to give up another five runs, four of which came on a grand slam from Jesus Sanchez. Alcantara struggled with his control, especially toward the tail end of his start as he hit four batters across the fifth and sixth frames. He has given up at least six earned runs in three of his last five starts, ballooning his ERA to 4.66 ERA across 75.1 innings. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which is slated for next week on the road against the Nationals.
Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Shelled for six runs in loss
Rotowire
Alcantara (3-3) took the loss Thursday against Atlanta, allowing six runs on nine hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out three.
The Atlanta bats peppered Alcantara on Thursday, as the hurler was scored upon in four of his six frames. Although the right-hander has been a workhorse for the Marlins this year, covering at least six innings in nine of his 11 starts, he's already up to three outings with at least six runs allowed. Alcantara will be seeking some consistency his next time out in Toronto, where he'll bring a 4.00 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 48:20 K:BB across 69.2 frames.
