Alcala (3-5) allowed one hit and zero walks with two strikeouts through two scoreless innings of relief, getting the win in Saturday's 8-1 victory over the Cardinals.
Nobody's happier to see the calendar flip to August than Alcala. The right-hander had an ERA of 9.72 over nine appearances in July before logging six outs against the Cardinals to nab his third win of the season Saturday night. This outing should work to boost his confidence.
