Marlins pitcher Henderson Alvarez earned a win Tuesday, giving up three hits and four walks in seven scoreless innings while striking out four in his team's 3-0 victory over the Nationals.
Alvarez (8-5) had issued just three walks over his previous five starts combined, but he was able to deal with his wildness Tuesday and post his first scoreless outing since June 20. He owns a 2.48 ERA and 83:27 K:BB ratio in 137 2/3 innings. Alvarez is due to face the Reds Sunday.
