Sandy Alcantara seems poised to work through the early struggles on his Cy Young Award follow-up season for the Miami Marlins.
Perhaps a return visit to Wrigley Field, where he once delivered a memorable postseason performance, can help begin a turnaround.
"I don't have to change anything," said Alcantara, who allowed three runs, six hits and three walks, while fanning five, over five innings of Tuesday's 6-0 loss to Atlanta. "I just got to keep positive, believe in myself. Keep working on everything I've got to do to get better. Get on track from last year."
Nick Madrigal delivered a go-ahead, two-run single in the eighth for the Cubs, who have taken the first two of this set to move a game over .500 following their 1-6 road trip. With two hits in each of the last two games, Chicago's Nico Hoerner is batting .315 on the season -- and 7-for-20 versus Miami in 2023.
