Everything, I thought, was better than his last start."įaedo threw 40 fastballs (47%), 31 sliders (36%) and 15 changeups (17%). His fastball was a step better, and even a tick better velocity-wise. "That's going to happen from time to him, and hitters like him are going to make you do damage, but I thought (Faedo) missed bats with multiple pitches. "The two-strike cement mixer to Teo was a mistake," Hinch said. Both Kelenic and Hernández have launched eight homers in 2023. Hernández extended the Mariners' lead to 3-0 with a 403-foot solo home run off Faedo's down-and-in slider in the fourth. The ball traveled inside the right-field foul pole.

It was the same thing I did to (Paul) Goldschmidt last week. Get him 0-2, and if you're going to miss, miss in the dirt. The one Hernández hit was a really bad miss by me. "He's a really good player and is off to a good start this year. "The one Kelenic hit was a really good pitch," Faedo said.

The Tigers (17-21) have lost back-to-back games for the first time in May. Not good enough to get the win, but more often than not, I'll take that keeping us in the game.
