After missing his scheduled start on Wednesday because of food poisoning, Felix Hernandez made his second start in the Venezuelan winter league on Thursday night.
Pitching for Navegantes del Magallanes, Hernandez was saddled with the loss, giving up two runs in four innings pitched in a 4-1 defeat to Caribes de Anzoategui.
A shaky first inning hurt Hernandez. He struck out Niuman Romero to start the game, but then gave up back-to-back singles to Orlando Arcia and Alexi Amarista. The trouble snowballed with a walk Denis Phipps to load the bases. An infield single to Rene Reyes allowed a run to score and a sac fly from Balbino Fuenmayor made it 2-0.
