EDGE Analysis

Fernandez bounced back from his shortest outing of the season his last time out, dominating the Royals on Wednesday. With the start, Fernandez snapped out of a recent rough stretch in which he posted a 6.00 ERA over his last four starts, dropping his ERA to 2.91 on the season. Fernandez continues to mow down hitters at a historic rate, and his 12.9 K:9 rate would be the third best single-season K:9 rate among qualifying starting pitchers in MLB history. Fernandez will take the hill next against the Mets on Monday.
