US EditionAlcantara Pitches 7 Strong Innings and Marlins Top Mets 5-1 to Take 3 of 4 in Series
Pitcher Sandy Alcantara delivered a strong seven-inning performance allowing one run and six strikeouts despite the benches-clearing incident triggered by hitting Mark Vientos.
- On Sunday at Citi Field, Mets DH Mark Vientos was grazed by a 90.4 mph changeup from Marlins starter Sandy Alcántara, prompting both teams' benches and bullpens to clear in the seventh inning.
- With the Marlins leading 5-0, tensions rose after earlier quick-pitches and inside offerings had irritated New York, following the four-game series and Saturday's 11–8 Marlins win.
- Vientos and Alcántara immediately exchanged words, prompting both teams' dugouts and bullpens to pour onto the field; despite shouting and shoving, no punches occurred, and home plate umpire Austin Jones quickly restored order with warnings.
- The Marlins secured a 5-1 victory as Sandy Alcántara finished seven strong innings, allowing one earned run on four hits while striking out six against the New York Mets.
- The episode intensified an already heated divisional rivalry as Miami Marlins took three of four from New York Mets after their previous seven series losses, amid New York's 11-17 August and tight National League wild-card race.
