Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Second-half surge continues in win
Sandy Alcantara (11-12) earned the win Friday against the Mets, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out three.It might have been too little too late for the Miami Marlins' playoff aspirations, but Alcanatara really rediscovered his ace form for fantasy managers following the All-Star break. Friday was his eighth quality start in 13 outings since mid-July, a stretch in which the right-hander submitted a 3.33 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 71:20 K:BB across his last 83.2 frames to improve his ERA from 7.22 entering the break to 5.36 to end the year. Although he struggled mightily during the first half, Alcantara's second-half surge certainly raised his stock significantly both in real life and in fantasy ahead of the offseason.

Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Bounces back for ninth win
Sandy Alcantara (9-12) came away with the win in Friday's 8-2 victory over Detroit, surrendering two runs on four hits while striking out eight batters over seven innings. He did not issue a walk.Alcantara gave up a solo shot to Riley Greene in the fourth inning and threw a wild pitch in the seventh to allow another run to score. However, a three-homer effort from Miami's offense gave the right-hander more than enough run support to claim his first win of September. Alcantara's 5.53 ERA for the season still doesn't look pretty, but he's begun to look more like his old self recently while posting a 2.48 ERA and 0.78 WHIP alongside a 41:6 K:BB across 40 frames over his last six starts. He'll have plenty of momentum on his side during what figures to be a favorable matchup against Colorado next week.

Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Settles for no-decision Tuesday
Sandy Alcantara didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 11-2 loss to Atlanta, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out seven.The right-hander produced his third straight quality start and racked up 34 called or swinging strikes among his 104 pitches (72 total strikes), but Alcantara left the mound with the score tied 2-2 and watched the Miami Marlins' bullpen implode in the ninth inning. Over those three outings he's regained his Cy Young form, posting a 1.80 ERA, 0.70 WHIP and 23:4 K:BB through 20 innings. If he keeps delivering results like that through September, Miami might be able to get the kind of trade package for him over the winter that the team couldn't find at this year's deadline. Alcantara will look to stay focused in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road this weekend against the Mets.
