Fernandez continues dominance at home in Marlins' win over Nationals
Steve Mitchell / USA TODAY Sports
Jose Fernandez loves his home turf.
The Miami Marlins hurler continued his dominance at Marlins Park on Tuesday, tossing six innings of one-run ball in a win against the National League East-leading Washington Nationals.
He now has 15 consecutive wins at home - the most by a starter whose career began in the modern era, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
2015 Home Starts | IP | H | K | WHIP |
---|---|---|---|---|
July 2 vs. SF | 6 | 7 | 6 | 1.17 |
July 9 vs. CIN | 7 | 6 | 9 | 1.00 |
July 28 vs. WSH | 6 | 4 | 5 | 1.03 |
The former first-round pick has been on a tear since returning to the Marlins' rotation after spending 13 months recovering from Tommy John surgery on his elbow. He hasn't lost a decision this season and is also trying to bring back the Karate Kid look.
