Hernandez gave up three runs, seven hits and two walks in seven strong innings Friday at Boston. He struck out seven.
Recommendation: The three runs are the most Hernandez has allowed in his last seven starts, but one run came on a wild pitch. The only thing out of the ordinary for Hernandez was that he gave up a season-high five extra-base hits. Perhaps we can chalk that up to Fenway Park. He left with a 5-3 lead, but the bullpen couldn't hold it.

RHP Felix Hernandez was named pitcher of the month for June, the first time in his career he's been so honored. Hernandez, who got no decision in a start Friday against the Red Sox, was 3-0 in five starts with a 0.94 ERA that was the lowest in big league baseball for the month.
