June 28, 2008 Livan Hernandez lost for the first time in three starts as the Milwaukee Brewers beat Minnesota 5-1 on Saturday night to end the Twins' 10-game winning streak. Livan allowed four earned runs on five hits, walked four and struck out five in the loss.
Our View:The veteran fought through some early inning troubles to pitch seven innings, but did so by recording a season-high 115 pitches. Hernandez has allowed 157 hits in 110 innings this year.
June 28, 2008 The Twins will be sending veteran Livan Hernandez to the mound today to keep the good vibes going against the Milwaukee Brewers, according to the Sports Network.
Our View:The Twins have collected 10 consecutive wins and now sit just a half-game back of the AL Central leading Chicago White Sox. During this impressive stretch Minnesota swept National League opponents Washington, Arizona and San Diego, and are tied with the Kansas City Royals for the best record in interleague play this season at 13-3. Since going 0-3 over a span of six starts, Hernandez has won back-to-back starts, including a 5-3 decision over Arizona this past Sunday. The 33-year-old hurler is a perfect 6-0 in nine starts at home.
June 22, 2008 Livan Hernandez picked up his eighth win of the season on Sunday as he limited the young Diamondbacks to three runs, one earned, over seven innings.
Our View:After being beaten around like a pinata at a seven year olds birthday party over five starts, Livan has now turned in back-to-back seven innings outings with one earned run allowed. He is currently scheduled to take on the Brewers the next time out.
June 17, 2008 The Nationals and Twins fought through a pitcher's duel this evening, but in the end it was Minnesota pulling the 2-1 win, led by RHP Livan Hernandez . Hernandez pitched seven innings to allow just one run on five hits, giving up no walks but striking out just one.
Our View:This gives Hernandez a 5.51 ERA on the season, rebounding after consecutive losses and three failures in his last six outings before this evening.
June 12, 2008 Livan Hernandez was abysmal on Thursday allowing 12 hits and seven runs to the Indians in his fourth loss of the season.
Our View:If you had Livan in there today, you just haven't been paying attention as Livan has done his best pitching machine impersonation over his last five starts allowing at least five runs in each outing (good for a 11.10 ERA).
