He retired the first 15 batters he faced but ultimately allowed eight hits and three runs in 7 1/3 innings, neither walking nor striking out a batter. (Updated 05/18/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Hernandez lowered his ERA to 3.88 and is looking like a serviceable enough starter for Fantasy purposes, but he still allows too many hits and doesn't strike out as many batters as he once did. Don't expect him to maintain this pace, but feel free to start him when he has the right matchups. His next start is scheduled for Thursday against the Rangers. (Updated 05/18/2008).
Hernandez won his third straight start on Monday as the host Twins beat Boston, 7-3. (Updated 05/13/2008)
