Daily News | Phillies fight past Marlins ace Sandy Alcántara in 2-1 victory
MIAMI — Marlins starter Sandy Alcántara has been nearly unhittable this season, and in the first few innings of Friday’s game, it seemed as if he might throw a no-hitter or even a perfect game. The Phillies didn’t reach base until the top of the fifth inning, when J.T. Realmuto lined a single to right field.
Alcántara entered his start with a 1.73 ERA and a 9-3 record. Besides being dominant, he is also a workhorse; entering Friday, he led baseball with 130⅓ innings pitched. The Phillies knew that they’d have face him for seven or eight innings — or more — so the fact that they were able to muster enough offense for a win was impressive.
After a historically bad start against the Cardinals on July 2 in which he gave up four straight home runs, Gibson has bounced back well in his last two starts. On July 9, he allowed only two hits over seven innings of work.
