On a day with the wind blowing in and the Atlanta Braves offense facing Jack Flaherty and the Cardinals, Felix Hernandez continued his march toward the fifth starter role.
We are now less than a month away from the start of the regular season, and while all sample sizes are small, Hernandez can’t really be said to have hurt his cause.
Last Saturday, Hernandez threw 2 innings against a Baltimore Orioles club that truly had no recognizable names in the lineup. They managed only a single base-runner (via a walk) against the man/myth/legend as he recorded 2 strikeouts besides.
