Jose Fernandez starts have become must-see events for both casual and serious baseball fans.
The 21-year-old right-hander was again in fine form on Saturday night against the Padres, yielding just three hits over 6 2/3 scoreless innings while using his upper-90s fastball and wicked-but-under-control slider to strike out eight Padres batters. Giancarlo Stanton drove in two runs and Christian Yelich drove in one as the young Marlins grabbed a 5-0 victory over the Friars and moved to 5-1 on the year.
It’s ridiculously early, but the Fish currently hold the best run differential (+23) in the major leagues.
Your Saturday box scores and recaps:
Brewers 7, Red Sox 6 (11 innings)
