MIAMI -- As Henderson Alvarez discussed his two-hit victory in the Miami Marlins clubhouse, teammate Jose Fernandez served as a translator.
Justin
Abdelkader Jersey . The performance actually spoke for itself. Alvarez won
for the first time since his no-hitter to end the 2013 season, helping Miami
beat the Seattle Mariners 7-0 Saturday. The Venezuelan faced only 28 batters,
one over the minimum. "It was amazing," praised Fernandez, who watched from the
dugout with other Marlins pitchers. "From the first inning he was locating his
pitches well. We were all sitting together, so it was exciting watching him
throw like that." Alvarez (1-2) retired the first 15 batters en route to the
third complete game and third shutout of his career. He struck out four, walked
none and threw 90 pitches. "Talk about efficiency," manager Mike Redmond said.
"In the first inning you could sense the intensity, and the way he was executing
his pitches, you could tell he was on a mission." Alvarez said he was mindful in
the early innings of his shot at a second no-hitter. "I thought about it, but I
was concentrating on getting outs," Alvarez said in Spanish. The Mariners lost
their fifth game in a row and were shut out for the fourth time. "This is a
tough stretch for us," manager Lloyd McClendon said. "Everybody in baseball goes
through tough stretches, and we just happen to have ours now. Weve got to grind
it out and keep our heads up and keep going." Alvarez generated more offence
than Seattle, driving in a run with a two-out broken-bat single in the sixth off
rookie Roenis Elias to make it 3-0. The hit left Alvarez shaking his right hand
in pain. "He jammed me hard," he said. "I thought I broke all five fingers when
I got to first base." Elias (1-2) allowed six runs in 5 2-3 innings.
Marcell Ozuna had a three-run homer, his third, and an RBI single to hike his
average to .343. Adeiny Hechavarria contributed three hits, scored twice and
made two fine plays at shortstop. Christian Yelich doubled to extend his hitting
streak to 13 games. The Mariners had eight left-handers in the lineup against
Alvarez, but that didnt faze the right-hander, who retired the side in order for
five innings before Dustin Ackley singled to shallow left-centre on the first
pitch of the sixth. The pitch was a sinker called by catcher
Jarrod Saltalamacchia. "That wasnt the pitch I wanted to throw," Alvarez said.
"It was a little high. I wanted to throw a changeup down." After the crowd of
24,003 gave Alvarez a warm ovation, Ackley was erased on a double play.
Mike Zunino doubled with one out in the ninth for the Mariners other hit before
Alvarez closed out the Marlins first complete game this year. He lowered his ERA
from 4.30 to 2.66. "He was keeping the ball down and hitting his spots,"
Saltalamacchia said. "If he missed, he missed away. In his last few starts he
left balls up in the zone a little bit." Alvarez, who turned 24 Friday, reached
96 mph on the scoreboard radar gun and had good command of his sinker. He went
to three balls on only one batter, and induced 17 groundball outs. "When you run
into a guy thats got three or four pitches working and hes a power pitcher, its
going to be tough," McClendon said. "Youre probably going to have a long night.
Thats the way it was." The dominating performance was reminiscent of Alvarezs
no-hitter on the final day of last season, when Miami scored in the bottom of
the ninth to beat Detroit 1-0. That was the first time a no-hitter was secured
with a walk-off wild pitch to bring home the winning run, and Alvarez was in the
on-deck circle at the time. NOTES: Marlins 2B Rafael Furcal (hamstring) will
begin a rehabilitation assignment Monday with Double-A Jacksonville. ... Marlins
RHP Jacob Turner (shoulder) is scheduled to make his first rehab start Wednesday
for Class A Jupiter. ... The Mariners Corey Hart was given the night off. ...
Seattle RHP Brandon Maurer and Marlins RHP Kevin Slowey are scheduled to make
their first starts of the season Sunday.

sitting next to the bench. The 57-year-old with greying hair couldnt box out or
grab a rebound, but owner Ted Leonsis waved his red towel and egged on a
cheering crowd that chanted "Free Nene!" The Wizards did just fine without the
suspended Brazilian forward.

playoff drive. John Wall scored 33 points, Gooden got 11 of his 21 in the final
quarter and the Wizards overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit for a 101-94
win over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night.Justin Wadsworth may be the head
coach of the Canadian cross-country team, but that doesnt mean he wont help a
rival skier in need. When Russias Anton Gafarov crashed and broke a ski during a
semifinal heat in the mens cross-country sprint, Wadsworth was right there to
help. Gafarov was clearly out of the race, but still wanted to finish in front
of the home crowd. But his ski was too badly damaged in the crash and he took
another tumble into the snow. Thats when Wadsworth went to help. The Canadian
coach ran onto the slope, spare ski in hand, and quickly fastened it to Gafarovs
boot, drawing a cheer from the crowd. Though the Russian was three minutes
behhind his competitors, he still finished the race thanks to the Canadian
coachs help.
Curtis
Joseph Jersey. It brought back memories of the 2006 Olympics in Torino,
when Norwegian coach Bjornar Haakensmoen helped out Canadian cross-country skier
Sara Renner in the team sprint event. Renner broke her ski pole halfway through
the race, and Haakensmoen provided her with a new one. Ironically, the move
prevented Norway from winning a medal in the event, as Renner and Beckie Scott
won silver, while the Norwegians finished in fourth. As a token of their
appreciation, fans across Canada donated five tonnes of maple syrup to
Haakensmoen as a thank you gift.
