Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara was cruising through 8 1/3 scoreless innings pitched on Tuesday until he yielded a double to the Reds' Matt McClain with one out in the top of the ninth inning. After walking the next batter—Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz—Marlins manager Clayton McCullough, apparently feeling uneasy about the Marlins' 2-0 lead with the tying runs aboard, emerged from the dugout and signaled to the bullpen for a pitching change.
Needless to say, the move was not received well by Marlins fans, who loudly booed McCullough as he headed to the mound to take the ball from his ace, who had thrown 95 pitches.
