Fortes had recorded just two hits in his last 22 at-bats before the hit.\n\nThe offensive backing was completed with a simple producer by <strong>Eric Wagaman<\/strong> in the fourth episode, who also added a performance of multiple unstoppable plays.\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PITTSBURGH, USA \u2014 Dominican right-hander Sandy Alc\u00e1ntara regained his best form this Tuesday by pitching six scoreless innings, leading the Miami Marlins to a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park.
