Alcantara's Shutout Leads Marlins Past White Sox 10-0

MIAMI — Sandy Alcantara delivered the first complete game shutout of the Major League Baseball season, tossing 93 pitches to lead the Miami Marlins to a 10-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday at loanDepot park.

The 2022 National League Cy Young Award winner struck out seven batters, allowed three singles and hit one, while not issuing any walks. The performance marked Alcantara's 13th career complete game and his second career shutout on fewer than 100 pitches, a feat known as a Maddux after Hall of Famer Greg Maddux. It extended his scoreless streak to 15 innings following a strong season-opening outing against Colorado.

The Marlins, who improved to 5-1 with the win and finished their homestand on a high note, jumped ahead early against White Sox starter Shane Smith. In the first inning, Liam Hicks drove in a run with a single, Connor Norby added an RBI double, and both runners scored on Owen Caissie's two-run single to make it 4-0.

Hicks, who leads the majors with 12 RBIs, continued his hot start with a two-run homer in the second inning, his third of the season, pushing the lead to 6-0. The Marlins added two more in the third on Javier Sanoja's two-RBI single....
