The King made his return to Tacoma.
It just didn’t last long — two innings.
What was off?
“Everything,” Felix Hernandez said.
Except his health. That , he said, was about the only thing that felt good Tuesday in a rehab start with the Tacoma Rainiers against the Reno Aces.
His third strikeout of the evening was his 50th pitch. It got him out of a horrid second inning that included a grand slam, and he exited with a 5-0 deficit.
“I was supposed to go four (innings) — I just got two,” Hernandez said.
