Marlins pitcher Henderson Alvarez continued his strong run Wednesday, in a 3-2 win over the Phillies.
Alvarez limited the Phillies to two runs -- one earned -- while reaching the seventh inning for the third straight start. He scattered seven hits and a pair of walks in the outing, while striking out three on 90 pitches in 6 2/3 innings of work in the win.
Alvarez has not lost over his last eight starts, while lowering his ERA to 2.32, good for fourth in the National League. He is 5-3 heading into his next outing, set for Tuesday, again against the Phillies.
