During an outing cut short by a rain delay, Marlins pitcher Henderson Alvarez pitched three innings and gave up two runs during Thursday's game against the Cardinals.
During the outing, Alvarez surrendered four hits, including a solo home run to Jason Heyward. In four spring outings, Alvarez has produced a 5.54 ERA. Despite his struggles, Alvarez is expected to be the Opening Day starter for the Marlins.
