Elieser Hernandez +.127

Elieser Hernandez made his first ever major league start for the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. That’s pretty impressive, especially when you consider that he hadn’t pitched above high-A level prior to this season.

Hernandez went five good innings, holding the Dodgers to three hits and a walk (+.177). He struck out two, and allowed a run only on Yasmani Grandal’s solo round-tripper. His positive impact was tempered slightly by his performance at the plate, in which he went 0-for-2 with a strikeout (-.050). Read more about Hernandez here.
