Félix Hernández was the best part about the Mariners today. It’s been years since that was definitively the case, and yet today, even in a 1-0 loss, The King’s performance stood out. One poor pitch to Ian Kinsler was the difference, but it can’t be overstated - this Félix, and the similarly decent Félix we’ve seen so far this year, is one that has a future. That future is based around command, curveballs, and consistency, and for the first time since his pre-injury blip of decency 2017, that Félix appears to have emerged.
Today he threw 75 pitches (57 strikes) through 7.
