Carlos Hernandez Pitches Five Scoreless Innings
3 years agoKansas City Royals starting pitcher Carlos Hernandez had a strong outing against the Detroit Tigers on Friday. He pitched five scoreless innings, allowing two hits and three walks while striking out one. He wound up with a no decision on the day. The 24-year-old right-hander has been mostly reliable over the past few months. He's held opponents to two or less runs in eight of his last 10 outings. He's 6-2 with a 3.68 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP on the year. His negatives are that he doesn't typically go deep into games and he has just a 20.7% strikeout rate on the year. He's slated to make one last start this year against the Cleveland Indians next Thursday.
