Marlins starting pitcher Henderson Alvarez couldn't hold a three-run lead Sunday and walked away with a no-decision against the Braves. Alvarez was charged with four runs on seven hits and one walk in six innings, striking out four.
Alvarez was given a 3-0 lead in the second inning and managed to stay out in front until Freddie Freeman put Atlanta up 4-3 with a three-run homer in the fifth inning. Miami tied the game at 4 in the sixth, taking Alvarez off the hook for the loss.
The right-hander has taken a no-decision in two straight starts. He will look to get back into the win column in his next scheduled start Saturday against the Giants.
