Fernandez, the 2013 NL Rookie of the Year, has the potential to be one of the best pitchers in the league, if not the best. Miami returned from a 1-4 road trip during which it dropped the final four contests to post a 2-0 triumph in Thursday’s opener.

Lorenzen (3-4) went six innings in his fourth consecutive solid start.
MIAMI – Mike Leake allowed three hits and struck out 10 in eight innings, and Jay Bruce homered in the second inning to help the Cincinnati Reds beat the Miami Marlins 1-0 Friday. He allowed six hits, struck out nine and improved to 14-0 in 22 career starts at Marlins Park.
Phelps returns to the rotation after a pair of relief appearances in which he tossed 4 1/3 innings without allowing a run or a hit.
Reds manager Bryan Price said RHP Anthony DeSclafani (strained gluteus), who missed Saturday’s turn, will not miss his next start…. Following a pitch, catcher Realmuto lobbed the ball back to Conley, and Hamilton stole third without a throw. Barnhart reached for a curveball outside of the zone and grounded out into a double play. “That’s key for me”.
Three Marlins struck out three times each.
A very instructive graph is one that details what each of kind of pitches appears to do when thrown towards home and there are no two pitches more different from the fastball and the slider/curveball. Third baseman Casey McGehee capped the rally with a two-run, opposite-field single to right. With right fielder Giancarlo Stanton already sidelined because of a broken left hand, Gordon’s injury means the Marlins will have no players at the All-Star Game.
The Marlins were 0-4 with runners in scoring position, and left five men on base.
Mike Pelfrey (5-6) gave up four runs and eight hits in 7 2-3 innings for Minnesota. 162 on May 15 but is now at.244. “I said, ‘Dunn?!’ It was cool”. “I’m still not even close to where I want to be”.
Jennings was a friend of ex- Oakland Raiders quarterback Ken Stabler, who died Wednesday. “I have some fond memories of that thanks to the Snake”. “Sometimes I look in the stands and see the kids laughing and saying my name, and it’s really special”. Marlins RHP Henderson Alvarez threw a bullpen session on Friday and could go to Jupiter on Sunday or Monday for a 45-pitch rehab assignment…. Latos had his foot against the net in front of the dugout and was hit by a teammate’s foul ball.
