Mets starter: RHP Robert Gsellman Broadcast: Marlins.com (radio), 710-AM (Spanish) Saturday’s game: Right-hander Sandy Alcantara, the Marlins’ top pitching prospect, looked smooth as he tossed two perfect innings in the team’s 3-2 win against the Nationals. His fastball sat in the mid-90s — low compared to mid-season form — and he threw 18 pitches (plus another 27 in the bullpen afterward). “His stuff was electric,” said catcher J.T. Realmuto, who watched from the dugout as the DH for the day. “It looked easy and it’s coming out firm. … Realmuto (2 for 2) homered to left, but upon contact thought he flew out and slammed his bat to the ground on the way to first base. “I was a little frustrated with myself because I got it off the end of the bat,” he said. “But there’s quite a jet stream going on out there right now. I hit it in the right spot.” … Center fielder Magneuris Sierra went 2 for 2 with the game-winning RBI in the seventh inning. … Tayron Guerrero, Chris O’Grady and Merandy Gonzalez each had a scoreless inning.
