NEW YORK — Sandy Alcantara was masterful again, the Miami Marlins’ ace working seven shutout innings against the New York Mets on Sunday at Citi Field.
And three innings after Alcantara walked off the mound for the final time, his teammates finally put a run on the board to salvage his efforts as the Marlins beat the Mets 2-0 in 10 innings to split the four-game series.
Miami (41-43) scored the winning run when Billy Hamilton, who pinch-ran for Garrett Cooper as Miami’s automatic runner at second base to start the 10th, stole third and scampered home on a wild throw from Mets catcher Tomas Nido. A Luke Williams two-out RBI single later in the inning scored Jesus Sanchez to give Miami an insurance run.
