Claims another franchise record
Alcantara (13-6) picked up the win in Saturday's 7-0 rout of the Angels, scattering three hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out eight.
Analysis
With his eighth out of the afternoon -- a strikeout of Josh Lowe -- the veteran righty became the Marlins' all-time leader in innings pitched, passing Ricky Nolasco. Alcantara has been locked in of late, tossing 20 consecutive shutout frames over his last three outings and winning all three while posting a 0.75 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB. His 13 wins are tied for second in the NL, behind Cristopher Sanchez's 15. Alcantara will look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Cincinnati.

Blanks Mets in 12th win
Alcantara (12-6) notched win Sunday against the Mets, allowing no runs on four hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out five.
Analysis
That makes it back-to-back scoreless starts for Alcantara, who continues to be a workhorse for the Marlins in 2026. The right-hander has reached the 90-pitch mark in all but two of his 24 outings -- reaching the 100-pitch plateau in half of them -- and he's now thrown at least six innings in six consecutive appearances and 11 of his last 12. Alcantara is set to bring a 3.68 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 120:41 K:BB over 156.2 frames into a soft home matchup against the Angels.
