One pitch later, Brito scooted to second base as Hernandez threw the ball away on an errant pickoff attempt to first base.
But it got better from there.
Hernandez allowed one run on three hits over four innings, walking one with four strikeouts in his longest start of spring. He threw 57 pitches, 38 for strikes.
"I feel really good," Hernandez said after.
The D-backs seemed intent on jumping on pitches early in the count, which led to two baserunners in each of the first two innings.
"It's Spring Training and they do that during the season to me," Hernandez said.
