Alcantara helps Marlins beat slumping Phillies 2-1

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Sandy Alcantara gave Miami’s tired pitching staff a huge boost with a stellar effort.
Alcantara pitched 7 2/3 sharp innings, Bryan Holaday hit a solo homer and the Miami Marlins beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 Friday night.
“He was awesome,” Holaday said of his battery mate. “He grinded, he competed. Coming off two extra-inning games, we needed him to go deep and he delivered.”
The Phillies have lost five in a row. They’re 6-14 sin
