Whiffs nine Mets in spring outing Alcantara tossed five scoreless frames Wednesday in the Marlins' 3-2 loss to the Mets, scattering three hits while striking out nine and walking none.

Impact Alcantara's control and command were both on point Wednesday, as he fired in 70 percent of his pitches for strikes and allowed one flyout against three groundouts. The Marlins have yet to announce an Opening Day starter, but Alcantara has established himself as the clear favorite to get the nod with how he's pitched so far this spring. Through four outings spanning 12.2 innings, Alcantara has allowed only four unearned runs to go with a 19:8 K:BB and a .163 batting average allowed.

Audition in leadoff spot continues Robles has hit leadoff in every game he's played this spring, Maria Torres of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 23-year-old has earned a prolonged audition in a prime lineup spot by slashing .280/.379/.560 through 25 at-bats in Grapefruit League play with a 4:8 BB:K. Nats manager Dave Martinez is trying to find a way to move Trea Turner down into a spot where he can become more of a run producer, and Robles' speed could play well atop the order if he can get on base often enough to use it. The center fielder is coming off a dreadful 2020 season, but he attributes the collapse at the plate to buking up too much last offseason in an effort to add more power to his profile; consequently, Robles has slimmed back down and focused more on making contact heading into 2021.
