Simply put, Roberto Hernandez was stellar in the Rays 3-1 win against the Marlins Wednesday night. Posting an excellent 8.2 IP/3 H/1 R/0 ER/0 BB/5 K slash line, Hernandez went 22-for-28 in first pitch strikes, induced 12 groundouts and nine fly-outs, and at one point retired 15 consecutive batters (26 out of 27) — all on 92 pitches.

How I wish the Rays could butt heads against the Marlins every night! The Rays, lead by a 7 IP/1 H/0 R/3 BB/8 K line posting Matt Moore, absolutely destroyed the Fish in a one hit 11-0 blow-out at the Trop. Maybe the Rays should get all Dickey on things and challenge the one hit …
