Sandy Alcantara Throws Complete-Game Shutout as Marlins Crush White Sox

Sandy Alcantara's complete-game shutout against the White Sox was a vintage performance, demonstrating his command and efficiency. Throwing just 93 pitches, Alcantara allowed only three singles, while striking out seven. This was his fifth career shutout.

Liam Hicks's contributions cannot be overstated; his bat has been key to the Marlins hot start. Hicks drove in four runs, increasing his MLB-leading RBI count to 12.

The Marlins' offense exploded early, scoring four runs in the first inning against White Sox starter Shane Smith. Connor Norby contributed with a run-scoring double, and Owen Caissie added an RBI single. The team's strong start at home marks a significant improvement since 2020.

Looking ahead, the White Sox will seek to rebound in their home opener against the Toronto Blue Jays, while the Marlins will face the New York Yankees in a three-game series. The Marlins will look to continue this momentum as the season progresses.

A "Maddux" is a complete-game shutout achieved in fewer than 100 pitches, named after Hall of Famer Greg Maddux.
