Alcantara allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and a walk over six innings in Sunday's win over Pittsburgh. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.
Alcantara committed a pair of errors in the first inning, leading to Cole Tucker scoring an unearned run. He later gave up an RBI triple to Anthony Alford before recording an out in the seventh. It was his shortest outing and lowest strikeout total since his Aug. 6 start in Colorado. Still, he lowered his season ERA to 3.05 with a 189:49 K:BB through 194.2 frames. Alcantara is lined up to face the Rays on the road next weekend.
