This victory not only secures a sweep, but also extends their streak to seven wins in the last eight games played.\n\nDominican pitcher Sandy Alc\u00e1ntara led the charge from the mound, showcasing a performance reminiscent of his stellar performance, which earned him the National League Cy Young Award in 2022.\n\nAlc\u00e1ntara pitched for 6.2 innings on a field known to be challenging for him, allowing three runs, five hits, and two walks, while striking out eight batters. This impressive outing lowers his ERA to 2.70 in his last seven starts.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThe two-seam fastball was great, the cutter was \u2018nasty\u2019. I just focused on being aggressive with my best pitch,\u201d said the 29-year-old ace, satisfied with his performance in Denver, where he previously had an ERA of 7.56 in three starts.<\/p><cite>Sandy Alc\u00e1ntara<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nManager Clayton McCullough praised Alc\u00e1ntara&#8217;s progress after overcoming Tommy John surgery: &#8220;We knew it would take time, but what Sandy is doing now is what we expected. He&#8217;s back to being dominant.&#8221;\n\nThe Marlins&#8217; offense also had an outstanding performance. Liam Hicks drove in four runs thanks to a home run and a crucial single. Dominicans Otto L\u00f3pez and Heriberto Hern\u00e1ndez provided power with home runs.\n\nL\u00f3pez hit an impressive 446-foot hit in the third inning, while Hern\u00e1ndez, as a pinch hitter in the ninth, hit a two-run home run.\n\nRookie Agust\u00edn Ram\u00edrez continued his outstanding season with two doubles, becoming the first Marlins player to reach at least 30 doubles, 20 home runs, and 10 stolen bases in his debut season. In addition, he is the second rookie catcher in MLB history to achieve such numbers, after Geovany Soto in 2008.\n\nAfter Alc\u00e1ntara&#8217;s exit, Tyler Phillips held the lead with 1.1 scoreless innings. Although Valente Bellozo allowed four runs in the ninth inning, Calvin Faucher secured the final out to seal the victory.\n\nWith nine games remaining on the schedule, the Marlins are focusing on the future. &#8220;We feel like we have more clarity now than at the beginning of the season,&#8221; McCullough said. &#8220;We want to finish strong and build on what we&#8217;ve accomplished.&#8221;\n\nThe combination of a fully fit Alc\u00e1ntara and emerging young talent in Miami generates optimism in South Florida, envisioning a competitive future in the Major Leagues.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miami Marlins: Winning Streak with Dominance in Denver The Miami Marlins continue their rise in the season, solidifying their good form by defeating the Colorado Rockies with a score of 9-7 at Coors Field.
