Alcantara Earns First Career Save Days After 101-Pitch Start
Miami Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara recorded his first career save in a win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, just two days after throwing 101 pitches in a no-decision.
Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara earned his first career save in a win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night, according to ESPN.
The appearance came just two days after Alcantara threw 101 pitches in a start that resulted in a no-decision, ESPN reported.
Alcantara, who has primarily worked as a starting pitcher throughout his career, has not previously recorded a save prior to this outing, according to the report.
Further details on the game situation, including the final score and the circumstances that led to Alcantara being used in relief so soon after a heavy workload, were not included in the available report.
ESPN did not provide additional statistics from Alcantara's relief appearance beyond confirming it marked his first career save.
