The Giants have been shut out four times in 25 games. They opened the season going 20 consecutive scoreless innings to tie a 1909 franchise record. They rank 25th in MLB in wRC+. Sandy Alcántara opens Friday night at Oracle Park against Adrian Houser (0-2, 5.40) — the weakest arm in the Giants rotation. With the Mets at 9-16 and the Phillies at 8-17, this is the West Coast trip that either validates the 2026 Marlins as NL Wild Card players or sends them home with questions.
Miami took 2 of 3 from the Cardinals behind Agustín Ramírez's HR in the opener and Janson Junk combining with five relievers on a three-hitter in the 4-1 finale. Javier Sanoja went 3-for-4 in the series closer to push his average to .352. The Marlins hand the rotation to Sandy for the flight to San Francisco with the momentum of a home series win.
The four-game skid ended Sunday when Eury Pérez earned the win and Kyle Stowers returned from hamstring IL with a 2-for-3 debut. The series was lost on two of the toughest nights of the young season: Otto Lopez's HR to tie the opener undone by an Edwards error in the 10th, and Sandy's career-high 6 walks in a Woodruff-authored 5-2 loss.
Miami opened with a 10-4 statement win behind Ramírez and Norby HRs, then dropped consecutive games — Dominic Smith cleared the bases with a three-run double in the 8th of Game 2, and Bryce Elder struck out seven on Jackie Robinson Day to close the series. NL East's two most international rosters collided and the Braves took 2 of 3.
Detroit swept Miami on offensive silence. Kenley Jansen recorded career save #478 in the opener. Drew Anderson earned his first MLB save in Game 2. Tarik Skubal and Dillon Dingler's three-run HR closed the sweep. A cold-bat road trip that exposed the depth questions early.
Miami split the four-game set with Cincinnati but the numbers told a different story than the record. Sandy Alcántara's 8.1-inning clinic in Game 11 was one of the best starts of the young season — a bullpen implosion in extras the only reason he didn't have a 3-0 record. Owen Caissie closed the series with a statement: 3-for-4, two doubles, three RBI in the finale.
Miami went into Yankee Stadium and stole the finale on Otto Lopez's clutch single and a late rally. Heriberto Hernández's 2-RBI triple drove Game 8. The loss in Game 7 exposed Eury Pérez's command issues at the highest level. The win in Game 9 proved the character is real.
