Felix Hernandez didn?t make any sort of run at Johnny Vander Meer?s unbreakable record of back-to-back no-hitters Tuesday ? he gave up a single to Jason Kipnis, the very first batter he faced ? but he did limit the Indians to one run in 7 2/3 innings in a 4-1 victory.
Meanwhile, the other Hernandez on the mound for Cleveland ? Roberto, the former Fausto Carmona ? did make things interesting for a bit, pitching 4 2/3 hitless innings before Eric Thames homered. He ended up allowing four runs on three hits in six innings.
Felix Hernandez, meanwhile, scattered seven hits, but every last one was a single. He walked one and struck out five in improving to 12-5 on the season. Since Jered Weaver got shelled last time out, King Felix currently stands third in the AL with a 2.54 ERA.
Hernandez has gone 13 straight starts without taking a loss. AL Cy Young voters figure to take into account his lack of run support when it?s time to pick a winner come early October. One more shutout could really help his case; if he gets his fifth, he?d be the first AL starter to reach that total since David Wells in 1998.
