Carlos Hernandez Strikes Out Six In His First Start Of 2021
3 years agoKansas City Royals pitcher Carlos Hernandez performed relatively well in his first start of the year against the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. He pitched four innings and allowed three hits, two walks and two earned runs while striking out six. The Royals were shut out in the game so Hernandez was tagged with his first loss of the year. Prior to Sunday's start, Hernandez had made 12 appearances this year, all in relief, and he had a 5.50 ERA over those 12 appearances. The Royals are desperate for rotation depth right now and Hernandez likely did enough on Sunday to earn another start. If he indeed remains in the rotation, he'll make his next start on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers.
