Que se dillio:
Orlando Hernandez did his best Livan Hernandez impression by tossing 130 pitches last week against Pittsburgh. He hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in any of his last four starts but has only a single win and three no-decisions to show for it. Meanwhile, Shawn Hill is making just his second start after three months on the disabled list. He held the Phillies to one hit over six innings last week and he beat the Mets back in April in his only career start against them.
