The left-hander reached the ninth inning and retired AJ Pollock and later struck out José Caballero, already with two outs, received a double from JP Crawford, pressure that he took in a big way and would not fail to strike out the dangerous Dominican outfielder Julio Rodríguez to finalize the victory.
Alvarado continues to be unstoppable, dropping his ERA to 0.79 in 11 games in which he’s pitched 11.1 innings, allowing just one earned run, with 22 strikeouts, no walks and a microscopic 0.53 WHIP.
