Well, the first Jose Day of 2016 is in the books for the Miami Marlins. Jose Fernandez looked solid, but ultimately the Washington Nationals eked out a 7-4 victory Monday afternoon in Vierra. Had hoped for a better result considering Space Coast Stadium used to be the vernal confines of the Marlins, but no such love or luck from the old stomping grounds.

But fans of Fernandez can rest easy, and that was the priority in this one. As for the enemies of Edwin…just read ahead and see for yourself. While not much should be read into a solitary spring performance either way, consider initial prayers answered and first fears realized.

Stat wrap recap follows below. Remember, can always skip to this section if you’re the fan on the go that just wants the bottom-line info.

Jose Fernandez posted two scoreless, hitless innings, with a K.
Edwin Jackson…did not. 2 IP, 8 H, 5 ER. Good luck, Jim.
Ichiro got his second hit of the spring; those should count, right?
If you missed it, Giancarlo Stanton was out due to knee pain.
Wait a few days before quitting on the season in light of that.
Miguel Rojas raised his average to .500 with a two-hit day.
Christian Yelich had his first hit, a two-run, two out single.
Kyle Barraclough, Brian Ellington, and Nefi Ogando combined for three no-hit, scoreless innings of relief.
Martin Prado, J.T. Realmuto, and Yelich all had hits, and were also the only regulars to play.
