Roberto Hernandez pitches a clean inning in relief

Roberto Hernandez pitched the ninth frame with the Astros leading 10-0, and did not allow a base-runner getting out of the inning with seven pitches thrown.

Fantasy Impact

Hernandez who lost his job in the starting rotation has been solid for the Astros out of the bullpen. Since his demotion on June 13th, Hernandez has allowed three runs in 19 IP, lowering his ERA from 5.18 to 4.36. Without a consistent role or save opportunities, Hernandez will not be owned in many leagues, but monitor his situation as the trade deadline nears.
