Cruises to third win Alcantara (3-2) earned the win after allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out five over eight innings Monday against the Nationals.
Impact Alcantara gave up his only run of the game in the top of the first inning on an RBI single to left field, but he would settle in and work deep into the series opener. He would exit the outing with an 8-1 lead after pounding the strike zone, firing 71 of 100 pitches for strikes. Alcantara has accrued a 2.49 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with a 42:20 K:BB through eight starts in 2022 (50.2 innings).

Starting Monday Alcantara is starting Monday against the Nationals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Impact The right-hander initially lined up to start Tuesday's matchup, but he'll be pushed up a day after Jesus Luzardo (forearm) was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday. However, Alcantara will be on normal rest since the Marlins had a day off Thursday. Over his last five starts, the 26-year-old has posted a 2.59 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 31.1 innings.

Pitches gem in no decision Alcantara pitched seven innings, giving up one run on two hits and three walks in the win Wednesday over the Diamondbacks. He struck out six and did not factor into the decision.
Impact The only blemish on Alcantara's line came in the bottom of the third inning when Alek Thomas took him deep for a solo shot. Overall, the 26-year-old has rebounded well after a tough five-run outing against the Mariners on May 1, surrendering three runs over 11.2 innings while striking out 11 in his last two starts. Alcantara will carry a 2.74 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with 37 punchouts into his next outing, which tentatively lines up to be Tuesday versus the Nationals.

Impact Alcantara breezed through three innings after surrendering one run in the first but was tagged for two more runs in the fifth on three hits and an error. The 26-year-old has prevented runs well enough -- two or less permitted in five of six starts -- but efficiency has been an issue as he's gone less than six innings in half his starts after being one of four pitchers with 200 innings last season. He'll look to get back in the win column against Arizona next week.

Allows two homers in loss Alcantara (2-1) took the loss to the Mariners on Sunday, allowing five runs on six hits -- including two home runs -- over 5.2 innings. He struck out six and walked four.
Impact A pair of long balls sunk Alcantara in this one -- one off the bat of J.P. Crawford and the first hit by Julio Rodriguez at the major-league level. Alcantara had just turned in three consecutive quality starts prior to this outing, and he still has a 2.90 ERA this season despite the hiccup. His fantasy managers are still waiting for more strikeouts on the strength of his 97-mph heater, but his swinging-strike rate remains modest at the moment.

Snags second win Alcantara (2-0) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing one run on six hits and three walks over six innings in a 5-2 victory over the Nationals. He struck out five.
Impact The right-hander delivered his third straight quality start, tossing 58 of 96 pitches for strikes while cruising to a win. Alcantara hasn't kept up the strikeout gains he made last season, posting a 20.2 percent strikeout rate through his first 25.1 innings, but it hasn't hurt his ratios as he sports a 1.78 ERA and 1.18 WHIP.

Denied win in brilliant outing Alcantara didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to the Cardinals, allowing four hits and a walk over eight scoreless innings. He struck out six.
Impact The right-hander shut down the Cardinals' offense over 98 pitches (62 strikes), and Alcantara didn't allow a runner to get past second base all night. Unfortunately, the Marlins' bats couldn't get anything going either, and he exited the game in a scoreless tie. Alcantara will take a 1.86 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB through 19.1 innings into his next outing.
