Alcantara allowed three runs on eight hits with six strikeouts and two walks across six innings during a no-decision against the Marlins on Sunday.
The Pirates had runners in scoring position pretty much all afternoon against Alcantara, but the right-hander limited the damage by holding Pittsburgh to a 2-for-16 day with runners in scoring position. It wasn't enough, though, as the Pirates broke through against the Marlins bullpen to retake the lead. Alcantara is 3-6 with a 3.73 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 58 strikeouts in 82 innings this season. He will pitch next at the Phillies on Friday.
