Former Seattle Mariners ace Felix Hernandez had not won a regular-season baseball game since last summer.
He tossed five innings and earned a narrow win over the Kansas City Royals in a start on June 30. Eight losses — seven as a starter, one as a reliever — followed during his final 11 appearances in 2018.
Hernandez hadn’t won in 275 days — until Monday night.
With his signature King’s Court donning their golden T-shirts, and cheering every time he worked the count to two strikes, Hernandez delivered a solid outing.
