MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) – If there is anything to feel good about with the 2015 Miami Marlins, it’s the pitcher who will take the mound on Sunday.
Jose Fernandez’s performance in his first month back from Tommy John surgery has made the Marlins’ miserable season somewhat tolerable.
Looking to remain unbeaten at home for his career, the right-hander tries to help the lowly Marlins prevent the San Diego Padres from matching a season high with a fifth straight win Sunday.
Fernandez (4-0, 2.53 ERA) wasn’t totally on his game while yielding four hits and four walks in six innings against Washington on Tuesday, but only allowed one run in a 4-1 home victory.
