Mike Pelfrey hurt his back Saturday so the Twins recalled Pedro Hernandez for an emergency start Sunday. Hernandez wasn't horrible his first time up with the Twins this year, but he wasn't good enough to keep his spot in the rotation either.
Yesterday, he was good enough to get the win despite issuing five walks in five innings.
That's good enough for me. He managed to prevent Cleveland from a three-game sweep as several Twins had a good day at the plate. It was really fun watching the Twins score without the long ball yesterday. You know, the old-fashioned way, stringing together several hits an inning and finally driving in runs instead of leaving everybody stranded.
Pelfrey is going to be out for at least a couple of weeks so Hernadez is going to be with the club for a few more starts. I feels sorry for Pelfrey. He was FINALLY looking good enough to be part of the rotation.
The Twins have another Monday off today and start a two-game series with Miami on Tuesday.
