"Sandy Alcantara pitched seven strong innings, Agustín Ramírez hit a two-run homer and the Miami Marlins defeated the New York Mets 5-1 in a game that got testy Sunday. The scrappy Marlins took three of four from New York after losing their previous seven series. The scuffling Mets finished 11-17 in August despite scoring 177 runs and hitting 53 homers - both franchise records for a calendar month."
"Alcantara (8-11) allowed four hits and struck out six. He carried a shutout into the seventh, when he gave up a leadoff single to Jeff McNeil and plunked Mark Vientos with a pitch. Alcantara and Vientos stared each other down before the benches and bullpens emptied, though no punches were thrown as players milled around the mound. Alcantara induced a pair of forceouts, the second of which scored McNeil, before striking out Starling Marte to end the inning."
"Kodai Senga (7-6), who gave up a two-run homer to Ramírez in the third and an RBI single to Heriberto Hernández in the fourth. Senga allowed five runs in 4 2/3 innings. He has a 5.90 ERA in nine starts since coming off the injured list July 11. Key moment Senga retired seven straight batters before Jakob Marsee doubled with two outs in the third."
