Benches Clear After Sandy Alcántara Hits Mark Vientos as Marlins Beat Mets 5–1

The right-hander delivered seven efficient innings in Miami’s series win at Citi Field.

Overview

  • In the seventh inning with Miami up 5–0, a hit-by-pitch on Mark Vientos brought both benches and bullpens onto the field before the situation cooled without punches.
  • Sandy Alcántara yelled toward Mets players, including Brandon Nimmo, and was restrained as the home plate umpire stepped in to keep the sides separated.
  • OutKick reported the pitch was a high, inside 90 mph fastball and that Alcántara finished with six strikeouts while allowing four hits and one earned run over seven innings.
  • Field Level Media reported Alcántara has logged three straight seven-inning outings and is 4–2 with a 3.16 ERA in nine starts since the All-Star break after a difficult first half.
  • Miami took three of four in Queens, and New York dropped to 73–64 with the 5–1 loss.
