Marlins starting pitcher Henderson Alvarez pitched well Friday against the Mets in New York, but was let down by his bullpen as he settled for a no-decision in a 4-3 loss. The right-hander permitted two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings pitched. The Mets scored two runs in the ninth off Steve Cishek for the win.

Alvarez put together three straight quality starts, allowing just five earned runs over his last 21 innings pitched over that span. He owns a 2.73 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP over 29 2/3 innings pitched. He'll make his next start Thursday against Atlanta.
