Meanwhile on the main field (updated)

David Hernandez has zipped through three innings, striking out three, walking none and giving up just one hit. If this keeps up, there is going to be a lot of speculation about the upcoming announcement of the regular season rotation. Manager Dave Trembley indicated recently that there would be no surprises, which seemed to indicate that Chris Tillman was likely to be the fifth starter, but I'm sure Dave will be able to perform the necessary semantic gymnastics to explain things if he changes his mind and goes with Hernandez.

Instant update: Jeff Zrebiec reports that Hernandez has completed five scoreless innings, giving up four hits and two walks. He worked out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the fourth by striking out three straight batters.
