Overview
- Sandy Alcantara struck out eight over seven scoreless innings on Saturday and the Marlins beat the Angels 7-0 as he passed Ricky Nolasco to become Miami’s all-time leader in innings pitched.
- This mark is Alcantara’s third franchise record of 2026 after earlier becoming the club’s all-time leader in strikeouts and in quality starts.
- He entered the game leading the majors with 156 2/3 innings pitched and 17 quality starts through 24 outings, numbers that underline his heavy workload this season.
- The outing helped snap a multi-game slide for Miami and was aided by Angels starter Walbert Ureña exiting after 2 1/3 innings following four earned runs and three walks.
- Alcantara missed all of 2024 after Tommy John surgery and struggled in 2025, so his 2026 resurgence both stabilizes the Marlins rotation and improves the team’s outlook for the remaining homestand and playoff push.
