It was his 13th career complete game.<\/p>\n<p>Liam Hicks homered, had two singles, and drove in four runs to increase his Major League-leading count of RBIs to 12. Otto L\u00f3pez also went deep, and Graham Pauley doubled twice for the Marlins, who ended the homestand 5-1, their best start since 2020.<\/p>\n<p>After a dominant outing against Colorado in the season-opener, Alcantara (2-0) extended his scoreless streak to 15 innings. The 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner struck out seven, scattered three singles and hit a batter.<\/p>\n<p>The Marlins struck quickly against White Sox starter Shane Smith with a four-run first. Hicks hit an RBI single and Connor Norby followed with a run-scoring double. They both scored on Owen Caissie&#8217;s single.<\/p>\n<p>Hicks made it 6-0 with a two-run blast in the second.
