Sandy Alcantara Torched by Padres in No-Decision
Sandy Alcantara allowed seven hits and six earned runs over four innings and was dealt a no-decision in Wednesday's 10-8 win against the San Diego Padres. The Dominican Republic native issued four free passes and struck out none. Alcantara made it through the first three innings with just one run allowed on two hits, but things unraveled in the fourth. After starting the inning with a fly out, he'd enable six straight batters to reach base safely, culminating in a five-run outburst for the Friars. It could have been worse, but Fernando Tatis Jr. was fortunately thrown out at home to end the threat. To put it plainly, the veteran has been dreadful -- yielding four earned runs or more in eight of his last nine outings, and six or more thrice. He'll look for better results his next time out against the Rockies next week, but he'll be difficult to trust even in the excellent matchup.
