he can pitch in the big leagues,\u201d Brewers manager Pat Murphy said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Taking the loss in his last outing against the Detroit Tigers, Marlins right-hander Janson Junk threw 93 pitches over 5 2\/3 innings, allowing four runs, three of them earned, while not allowing a home run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">He finished with a no-decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Otto Lopez tripled in the fourth inning, added a two-run home run to straightaway center field in the sixth, and singled in the eighth for a three-hit night, finishing a double shy of the cycle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">He now carries a .347 batting average.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Third baseman Graham Pauley was removed from the game with two outs in the seventh inning after he moved to avoid a pitch that would have hit him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">According to the Marlins, Pauley exited with right oblique discomfort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Right-hander Sandy Alcantara (2-1, 2.67 ERA) will start for the Marlins (9-11) on Saturday at 4:10 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Alcantara will look to bounce back after allowing seven earned runs, three home runs, and 10 hits over six innings in a loss to the Tigers on April 12.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211;
