MIAMI — \u2014 Sandy Alcantara<\/a> threw the first complete game of the MLB season in a 93-pitch shutout to lead the Miami Marlins<\/a> over the Chicago White Sox<\/a> 10-0 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

It was Alcantara\u2019s second career shutout with fewer than 100 pitches, known as a \u201cMaddux\u201d in honor of Hall of Famer Greg Maddux. It was his 13th career complete game.<\/p>\n

Liam Hicks<\/a> homered, had two singles and drove in four runs to increase his major league-leading count of RBI to 12. Otto L\u00f3pez also went deep and Graham Pauley<\/a> doubled twice for the Marlins, who ended the homestand 5-1, their best start since 2020.<\/p>\n

After a dominant outing against Colorado in the season-opener, Alcantara (2-0) extended his scoreless streak to 15 innings. The 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner struck out seven, scattered three singles and hit a batter.<\/p>\n

The Marlins struck quickly against White Sox starter Shane Smith<\/a> with a four-run first. Hicks hit an RBI single and Connor Norby<\/a> followed with a run-scoring double. They both scored on Owen Caissie\u2019s single.<\/p>\n

Hicks made it 6-0 with a two-run blast in the second. He drove Smith\u2019s slider over the wall in right for his third homer.<\/p>\n

Javier Sanoja\u2019s two-RBI single in the third padded the lead.<\/p>\n

Miami added two runs late when Hicks hit an RBI single in the sixth and L\u00f3pez connected off White Sox reliever Jordan Leasure<\/a> in the eighth.<\/p>\n

Smith (0-2) lasted three innings, giving up eight runs and seven hits. In his first two starts of the season, Smith has allowed 12 runs and 15 hits over 4 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
