Whatever problems Mariners wunderkind pitcher Felix Hernandez has been having seem to have been cured. Or maybe the Tampa Bay Devils just aren't that good. (Think so?)...
Anyway, Felix just came out of the game on Tuesday having struck out four of the last five batters he faced. His final line: 7 2/3 innings, five hits, one earned run, eight strikeouts and one walk.
He finished strong, too. His 100th pitch of the night was clocked at 95 mph according to the Safeco Field scoreboard. Not too shabby, huh?
