Braves' Roberto Hernandez: Serves up three homers in loss to Brewers
Roberto Hernandez gave up five runs on seven hits (including three home runs) while striking out two over four innings in a loss to the Brewers on Thursday. He did not walk a batter.The 35-year-old dug himself an early hole by serving up a two-run home run to Chris Carter in the first, and that hole only grew deeper as Scooter Gennett and Hernan Perez hit solo shots in subsequent innings. Through two starts, the results have been what most expected from Hernandez (8.00 ERA, 1.56 WHIP). It would not be a surprise if he were replaced in the rotation by John Gant (oblique) late next week.
