Roberto Hernandez loses to Red Sox
Roberto Hernandez - S - Tampa Bay Rays
March 16, 2013 - 5:10 PM ET

Roberto Hernandez allowed three runs -- two earned -- in five innings Saturday in his start versus the Red Sox.

Hernandez struck out five and got six outs on the ground, so he wasn't too bad. That said, he was facing a Red Sox lineup that didn't include one likely regular. Hernandez is battling Jeff Niemann for the fifth spot in Tampa Bay's rotation. The loser could end up in the pen, but it'd be no surprise to see Niemann get traded.
