Marlins starting pitcher Henderson Alvarez was hit hard Friday, but pitched his way into a no-decision in a 7-5 win over the Padres.
Alvarez lasted six inning, but had trouble fooling the Giants throughout the start. He gave up 10 hits, five of which went for extra- bases, and was charged with five runs -- four earned in his six innings. He also struck out four and walked no batters on 84 pitches in the no-decision.
Alvarez is now winless in his last two starts, allowing nine runs in 10 innings during that span. He is 2-3 with a 3.62 ERA on the season heading into his next start, Thursday against the Phillies.
