Marlins Ace Alcantara Pitching to Snap Skid

0:00On April 22nd, the Miami Marlins are in a rough patch right now, dropping seven of their last ten games including a sweep by the Detroit Tigers and losses to the Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers. They blew a late lead Friday night, falling seven to five and ten innings at home. Overall, their starting pitchers, bats and fielding have all let them down big time. Rookie Outfielder Owen Casey started hot against the Colorado Rockies, but is cooled off lately. Heading into Saturday's rematch with the Brewers, Miami's lost three straight and needs a spark. They're turning to their ace to snap the skid. Fans are feeling the frustration as the Marlins sit near the bottom early in the season. The skids got everyone pointing fingers at the pitching staff and inconsistent offense. Still, there's hope with a strong home crowd at Lone Depot Park. Saturday's match up features right-hander Sandy Alcantara for Miami, two in one with a 2.67 ERA, over 30.1 innings, and 22 strike

1:00outs. He faces Milwaukee's Brandon Woodruff, 1-0 with a 4.32 mark. Catch it at 410PM Eastern on marlins.tv or radio on 560 AM, WKAM. Injuries are piling up too, with first baseman Christopher Morell and others on the 10-day list for oblique and hamstring issues, plus two pitchers. Out for the season with elbow surgeries. Alcantara better bring his A-game to keep this from getting worse. I'm Cory with The Story, and you've been listening to MLB News today, AI-powered baseball coverage.
