Felix Feeling Fine

Felix Hernandez pitched eight shutout innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates Thursday night, returning to the form of earlier this season:

The Pirates were shut out for the second straight game and the eighth time this season, most in the major leagues. They haven't scored in 20 innings.

"Geez, I was worried," Hernandez said with a wry smile. "I wanted to throw a good game to keep the confidence up."

Hernandez said this was by far the best he's felt in seven starts since returning from a month on the disabled list on May 15.

"He was filthy," said Nate McLouth, who had one of the six hits off the 21-year-old ace.

Hernandez struck out nine and walked one. Now, the Pirates are not the best offense in the league, but dominating them to this extent is a very good sign. Here's Hernandez's day by day log. It may turn out to be very easy to determine where he was hurt and where he was healthy.
