Diamondbacks pitcher Wade Miley took a no-decision in his final start Sunday against Washington.

Miley allowed two runs (one earned) on eight hits and a walk over seven innings of work. He struck out two but didn't allow a home run. A strong finish lowered his ERA to 3.55 as Miley now has two good seasons in the books in two tries.

Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu took his eighth loss in Sunday's finale.

Ryu allowed two runs on eight hits and a walk over four innings. Ryu was removed after just 76 pitches to keep him fresh for the playoffs. His season ERA finshes at 3.00 exactly.

Braves pitcher Julio Teheran moved to 14-8 in Sunday's finale against the Phillies, giving up four earned runs on six hits while striking out three in five innings in his team's 12-5 win.

Teheran ends the regular season with four wins in his last five starts, capping off an impressive rookie campaign in which he posted a 3.20 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 170:45 K:BB ratio in 185 2/3 innings. The Braves will face the Dodgers at home Thursday to kick off the National League Divison Series.

Marlins pitcher Henderson Alvarez threw the fifth no-hitter in Marlins history Sunday, throwing 99 pitches over nine no-hit innings while striking out four and walking one as the Marlins defeated the Tigers, 1-0.

Alvarez didn't get to celebrate after his final pitch, however, as his 27th out was recorded with the game still scoreless. In the bottom of the ninth, the Marlins were able to load the bases with two outs before a wild pitch gave the Marlins a walk-off victory and Alvarez a no-hit win.

The walk-off wild-pitch no-hitter puts a cap on a season in which Alvarez went 5-6 with a 3.59 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 57:27 K:BB ratio in 102 2/3 innings.

Dodgers starting pitcher Zack Greinke turned in another dominant outing but was hit with the loss Saturday night against the Rockies. He allowed one run on four hits and no walks while striking out seven over six innings of a 1-0 defeat.

Greinke suffered his first loss since July 25. He finished the regular season 15-4 with a 2.63 ERA, a 1.11 WHIP and a 148:46 K:BB ratio over 177 2/3 innings.

Rockies starter Juan Nicasio turned in an impressive performance as he earned his ninth win of the season Saturday night against the Dodgers. He allowed three hits and one walk while striking out seven over 5 1/3 scoreless innings of a 1-0 victory.

Nicasio had allowed 15 runs over his previous five innings pitched before Saturday's win. He finished the season 9-9 with a 5.14 ERA, a 1.47 WHIP and a 119:64 K:BB ratio over 157 2/3 innings.

Marlins starter Nate Eovaldi tossed a quality start but failed to factor into the decision Saturday night against the Tigers. The right-hander permitted one run on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings of a 2-1 victory in extras.

Eovaldi allowed three earned runs combined over his final three starts (18 2/3 innings). He finished the season 4-6 with a 3.39 ERA, a 1.32 WHIP and a 78:40 K:BB ratio over 106 1/3 innings.

Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright collected his 19th win of the season Saturday afternoon against the Cubs. The right-hander, who made his final start of the regular season, surrendered two hits and one walk while striking out five over 5 1/3 innings of a 6-2 victory.

Wainwright allowed one earned run or fewer in three of his final five starts. He finished the regular season 19-9 with a 2.94 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP. He struck out 219 and walked 35 over 241 2/3 innings.

Reds starter Johnny Cueto will make the start Tuesday in a one-game playoff against the Pirates.

Cueto has allowed only two earned runs over 12 innings pitched (two starts) since coming off the disabled list after seven weeks with a strained lat muscle. He is 1-0 with a 0.73 ERA in two starts against the Pirates this season.

Pirates starting pitcher Charlie Morton left Saturday's final start of the regular season in Cincinnati with the lead. Unfortunately, he couldn't win the game because he left after just 4 1/3 innings and didn't qualify for the decision.

Morton took the no-decision as he allowed three earned runs on five hits and five walks over just 4 1/3 innings on 92 pitches thrown. He got the quick hook as Pittsburgh went to Vin Mazzaro to finish off the fifth inning. Morton's ERA is now at 3.26 and he finishes his season for the Pirates with a 7-4 record over 20 starts with 85 strikeouts over 116 innings.

Morton, 29, may get a chance to pitch in the postseason if the Pirates can best the Reds in the wild card playoff game.
