Seattle Mariners ace Felix Hernandez put up an all-time stinker on Friday night against the Houston Astros, yielding eight runs in just one-third of an inning. It was so bad that the Mariners had to use a position player on the bump to close out a game the Astros ended up winning 10-0.
But how bad was it?
In a six-pitch sequence that ran the former Cy Young winner from the mound and into the showers, he yielded two homers. Anyone who has had the pleasure of watching the now 29-year-old Hernandez pitch throughout his career knows that King Felix can go an entire month without yielding a single homer.
