Reigning National League Cy Young winner Sandy Alcántara was sensational on Tuesday night at LoanDepot Park, posting Major League Baseball’s first shutout of the 2023 season in just one hour and fifty-seven minutes.
Miami's ace rebounded from an opening day loss to the Mets with a superb 100 pitch effort against the previously undefeated Twins (4–1). The sub-two hour game was the shortest so far this season.
The 27-year old talent, who helped Miami earn their first win of the season, snapped the club’s four-game losing streak in the process. Alcántara went the distance scattering just three hits and one walk while striking out five in the team’s 1–0 win.
