Alcantara (3-6) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing one run on six hits and two walks over seven innings in a 10-1 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out five.
The Marlins gave their ace a three-run lead before he stepped on the mound at Fenway, and Alcantara responded with one of his best performances of the season. The right-hander fired 65 of 95 pitches for strikes en route to his sixth quality start in 16 outings and his first win since May 24. Alcantara will try to build on that success in his next start, likely to come this weekend in Atlanta.
