It was Alcantara&#8217;s major league-leading 16th quality start and the 111th of his career, surpassing Ricky Nolasco for the franchise record.<\/p>\n<p>Calvin Faucher relieved Alcantara and thew a perfect eighth before Pete Fairbanks closed with another perfect inning for his 14th save.<\/p>\n<p>The Marlins struck quickly on Stowers&#8217; blast in the first. Stowers drove a knuckle curve from Phillies starter Aaron Nola (3-9) over the wall in right-center for his 14th homer.<\/p>\n<p>Alcantara didn&#8217;t allow a hit until Bryan De La Cruz reached on an infield single with two outs in the fifth.<\/p>\n<p>Alec Bohm walked to lead off the second and Brandon Marsh reached on a fielder&#8217;s choice throwing error by first baseman Stowers before Alcantara struck out Edmundo Sosa, retired Justin Crawford on a groundout and De La Cruz on a pop fly.<\/p>\n<p>In the sixth, Bryce Harper and Bohm hit consecutive two-out singles against Alcantara. But the 30-year-old right-hander struck out Marsh looking to end the threat.<\/p>\n<p>Standout defensive plays also helped Alcantara. Center fielder Jakob Marsee tracked down a drive by Harper and made a leaping catch at the wall to lead off the fourth. Third baseman Graham Pauley dove and caught Sosa&#8217;s line drive for the first out in the seventh.<\/p>\n<p>Nola allowed one run and five hits over 5 2\/3 innings. He walked three and struck out four as Philadelphia slipped to 3-8 since the All-Star break.<\/p>\n<p>LHP Jes\u00fas Luzardo (9-5, 3.31) will start the series finale for the Phillies on Wednesday. The Marlins have not announced a starter.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP MLB: https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/mlb<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sandy Alcantara pitched four-hit ball over seven sharp innings, Kyle Stowers homered and the Miami Marlins beat the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":355714,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[111728,48424,9004,123,125,3822,124,71231,110],"class_list":["post-355713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-bryce-harper","tag-kyle-schwarber","tag-major-league-baseball","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-marlins","tag-miami-news","tag-philadelphia-phillies","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355713","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=355713"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355713\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/355714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=355713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=355713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
