Marlins pitcher Henderson Alvarez had a tough start Friday against the Mets.
Alvarez allowed six runs on eight hits over five innings of work. He did not issue any walks, but did strike out three over the course of the outing. After a scoreless first, Henderson’s struggles began. He allowed three straight hits in the second inning, bringing in two runs. Lucas Duda cashed in two more runs the following inning after hitting a home run. David Wright also clubbed a two run shot off Alvarez in the fifth.
The loss dropped Alvarez to 6-4 on the year. His next start should come shortly after the All-Star break.
