Alvarez Dazzles in Florida Win
Florida left-hander Wilson Alvarez made an effective start against the Minnesota Twins at Joe Robbie Stadium, leading his team to a 4-1 win. The Marlins bumped their record to 60-40 with this latest triumph.

Alvarez, who dominated for Florida, earned the victory to move to 6-5. He was in control the whole game, scattering 5 hits over 8 innings, while striking out 10. Minnesota batters could never bunch up enough hits to produce a rally.

"It's a mindset," said Alvarez. "Just trying to do your job, trying to be consistent."
