Hernandez Whiffs 15, Yakima Valley Tops Philadelphia Sunday, June 25th, 2017 Everything was working for Felix Hernandez today at Gilbert Park. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The slider was working. In an unforgettable performance, the 31-year-old Hernandez fanned 15 Brotherhood and sparked the Yakima Valley Pippins to a 8-1 victory over Philadelphia. He left Brotherhood hitters mumbling and muttering at the plate. And when he needed a strikeout, he got it. "I don't know if there are many times that I've seen him throw better," said Yakima Valley manager Anastasio Bernal. "His location and command were really something." In addition to collecting 15 strikeouts over 9 innings, Hernandez allowed 7 hits and 1 walk in a superlative outing. "I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Hernandez said with a smile. This year Hernandez has gone 6-7 with an ERA of 3.43 and has 152 strikeouts in 110.1 innings. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
