Putz blew the save in the ninth.","spin":"The blown save was Putz's third of the year. Hernandez hasn't been perfect this year (he recently had a tough outing at Colorado, though that was fueled partially by some bad defense behind him), but he's been better than Putz, with a 2.25 ERA and a 29:7 K:BB in 20 innings.","date":"Wed May 23"},"fullName":"David Hernandez","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"The slider is Hernandez's key to success as a reliever, which makes sense; he can lean more heavily on that pitch now that he's pitching shorter outings and opposing hitters are seeing it only once a night. He recorded 46 of his 77 strikeouts with it last season and limited opponents to .101/.174/.152 rates, with his .326 OPS allowed checking at sixth-best among pitchers who threw at least 250 sliders. Hernandez even succeeded as a fill-in closer during J.J. Putz's brief DL stint last summer, and considering Putz's propensity for injury, more saves might be on the horizon. Among ratio-helping setup men, Hernandez might not be the first name you'd think of, but he certainly ranks among the best.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":-0.1,"playerRater15DAY":-1.1,"positionRank":72}
