Marlins starting pitcher Henderson Alvarez struggled in just one inning Saturday, but it was enough to saddle him with a 6-4 loss.
Alvarez allowed runs in just one of his seven innings in the game, as the Giants jumped on him for four runs on three hits and a pair of walks in the fourth inning. He allowed just three baserunners otherwise in the game, finishing with four runs on four hits and four walks in seven innings.
Alvarez ended up throwing 101 pitches in the game, while striking out four batters. His record fell to 2-2 on the season, while his ERA rose to 3.41. He has gone at least six innings in eight straight starts, but has surrendered four runs in each of his last two outings.
