Miami’s Sandy Alcantara allows four hits and pitches seven strong innings as the Marlins beat the Philadelphia Phillies 1-0 on Tuesday night. Kyle Stowers provides the only run with a home run, while Xavier Edwards contributes a single and two walks and Liam Hicks adds two hits for Miami. The Marlins win their second straight after ending a franchise-record 12-game losing streak in their previous game on Monday.
For Philadelphia, the outcome is tied to limited scoring opportunities throughout the game, with the Marlins holding them to four hits. Philadelphia’s top slugger, Kyle Schwarber, does not play due to a gastrointestinal illness. With Schwarber out of the lineup, the Phillies’ offense fails to generate a run against Alcantara’s pitching.
The game is decided by Miami’s one-run advantage from Stowers’ homer, with Alcantara’s performance setting the foundation for the shutout effort.
