Sandy Alcantara displayed strong pitching through four innings, having retired 11 consecutive batters and topping out at 99 mph. However, his fifth inning proved challenging as he allowed four hits, resulting in a 4-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Manager Clayton McCullough noted that Alcantara's talent is evident, emphasizing unlucky breaks during the game. Alcantara himself expressed frustration over the lack of results despite feeling good about his performance. His outing suggests potential as he continues to navigate recovery from Tommy John surgery.
"A good step. It feels like he's a little snake-bitten. Some of those balls are going to get hit at people, which will make the overall outing look different."
"Just no luck out there for me today. The first four innings, everything was good. Fifth inning, they just hit the ball right there in the hole."
