Marlins starting pitcher Henderson Alvarez threw his fourth quality start in a row Wednesday, in a 3-2 win over the Mets.
Alvarez tossed a season-high 7 1/3 innings and limited the Mets to two runs on six hits and a pair of walks in the outing. He was a groundball machine, racking up 17 of 22 outs by way of the groundball. He struck out one hitter, while throwing 66 of 100 pitches for strikes.
Alvarez has pitched well since returning from the disabled list, posting a 2.61 ERA and 2-1 record in six starts. He has gone at least six innings in five of those starts, and will look to keep his solid run up in his next outing, scheduled for Tuesday against the Pirates.
