MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Whenever he seems to be on the mound, the Miami Marlins young pitching ace always brings the noise.
Jose Fernandez struck out the final batter he faced to end the fifth inning and walked off the mound with a grin, happy to be healthy and still unbeaten at Marlins Park.
Fernandez returned from the disabled list Saturday and became only the third pitcher since 1914 to win his first 16 career decisions at home when the Marlins beat the reeling Washington Nationals 2-0.
Pitching for the first time since he was sidelined by a right biceps strain Aug.
