The Dominican pitcher guided the Miami Marlins to a 3-2 victory over the San Diego Padres, in what could have been his last home start.\n\nAlc\u00e1ntara, who took the mound with the song &#8220;Never Creyeron&#8221; by Wilmer Roberts, demonstrated his best version, surpassing the also outstanding Dylan Cease. He worked seven solid innings, allowing two runs (one earned) and exhibiting dominant control of his pitches. His ability to induce weak contact was notable, achieving nine outs via ground ball, including two double plays.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>There are many people who don&#8217;t believe in me, but I do. I just have to trust in God&#8217;s process and fight for my team. No matter what they say.<\/p><cite>Sandy Alc\u00e1ntara<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe crucial moment of the game arrived in the fifth inning, when Jes\u00fas S\u00e1nchez hit a two-run home run to right field, breaking the tie and making the difference in the score.\n\n\n<p>Despite rumors of a possible trade before the July 31st Deadline, Alc\u00e1ntara remained focused and grateful for his time with the organization. &#8220;I just feel great being here. If something happens, it happens. I just have to compete and work,&#8221; he commented.<\/p>\n\n\nMarlins manager Clayton McCullough praised Alc\u00e1ntara&#8217;s performance: &#8220;What Sandy did today was fantastic. He responded with a great opening when we needed it most, and we are very happy for him.&#8221;\n\nDespite a difficult return this year, with an ERA of 7.14 before the game, Alc\u00e1ntara showed that he can still be a valuable asset for any team looking to strengthen its rotation. At 29 years old, under contract until 2026 and with a club option for 2027, he is positioned as one of the most attractive pitchers on the trade market.\n\nWith his historical numbers in Miami, where he ranks second in complete games (7), third in shutouts (4), and sixth in ERA (3.20, minimum 25 starts), Sandy Alc\u00e1ntara has left an indelible mark.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>If they want to remember me as a \u2018horse\u2019, I accept it. I feel very good about the opportunity I had here.<\/p><cite>Sandy Alc\u00e1ntara<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nAlc\u00e1ntara is scheduled to open next Tuesday in St. Louis, against the franchise that signed him as a teenager in the Dominican Republic and traded him to Miami in 2017.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sandy Alc\u00e1ntara Shines in Possible Farewell at loanDepot park In an emotional day at loanDepot park, Sandy Alc\u00e1ntara delivered a performance that recalled his status as a Cy Young winner.
