Sandy Alcantara was wild over his four innings last night, allowing three earned runs and 12 Nat baserunners, while Stephen Strasburg struck out 11 on the way to a 4-2 win over the Fish. Local boy, Peter O’Brien, provided a highlight.

Don’t look now, but the Marlins might have traded two MVP’s last offseason before 2018 is all said and done. But hey, at least Magneurys Sierra is improving.
And don’t forget the unexpected surprise Brian Anderson has been this year.
