Jose Fernandez so far has lived up to the hype since his return to the mound for Miami. Fernandez earned his second win of the season Thursday night against the Reds by striking out nine batters and giving up no earned runs over seven innings of work.
In the first inning All- Star Dee Gordon got on base with a single. Later in the inning he would steal second and third base. Following Gordon's arrival to third base Justin Bour hit a double that drove in Gordon.
Miami added to their lead in the fifth inning thanks to Dee Gordon again.
