Alcantara's Masterpiece: Complete Game Shutout

0:00It's April 2nd. Welcome to MLB News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Miami-Marlins A Sandy Alcantara just dropped the first complete game shut out of the MLB season. He dominated the Chicago White Sox with a 93-pitch masterpiece leading his squad to a 10-nothing blowout on Wednesday. That's his second career Maddox, named after Greg Maddox for those efficient gyms under 100 pitches. Coming off Tommy John's surgery, that wiped out his entire 2024 season and a 12-20-25 with an 11-12 record and five. 36 ERA, Alcantara stayed locked in. Now, 2-1-0. He stretched his scoreless streak to 15 innings after a strong opener against Colorado. Alcantara preached keeping the faith through the lows, vowing to attack Count Harder this year. His catcher Liam Hicks backed him up big, smashing a homer with two singles for four RBI's, topping the majors with 12 already. Manager Clayton McCullough gave the green life of the ninth after quickouts in the eighth. He mixed six pitches sharp.

1:06Change up, fastball, slider, sweepers, sinker, cutter to scatter. Just three singles, one hit better, and seven strikeouts. No White Sox runner sniff second base. This rare efficiency stands out when last year saw only 29 complete games league-wide and 13 shutouts, fewest since 18. 73 Alcantara's rolling early, proving comeback's had different.
