Felix Hernandez will pitch in Tacoma on Tuesday — but with limitations

Tacoma, a Seattle superstar will be in town Tuesday.

And if it were up to Pat Listach – and just about every other person in Tacoma – Felix Hernandez’s upcoming Rainiers tour might go down a little different.

“I’d like to use him for about seven innings,” the Rainiers manager joked.

He won’t be allowed to use The King for more than four, though, Listach said, as Hernandez makes a rehab start on his way back from bursitis in his shoulder.

Listach said Hernandez will have his full arsenal at his disposal, though the Cy Young winner and six-time MLB All-Star will get a maximum of 65 pitches.
