Marlins pitcher Henderson Alvarez threw the fifth no-hitter in Marlins history Sunday, throwing 99 pitches over nine no-hit innings while striking out four and walking one as the Marlins defeated the Tigers, 1-0.
Alvarez didn't get to celebrate after his final pitch, however, as his 27th out was recorded with the game still scoreless. In the bottom of the ninth, the Marlins were able to load the bases with two outs before a wild pitch gave the Marlins a walk-off victory and Alvarez a no-hit win.
The walk-off wild-pitch no-hitter puts a cap on a season in which Alvarez went 5-6 with a 3.59 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 57:27 K:BB ratio in 102 2/3 innings.
