Turbulent Hernandez 

Elieser Hernandez had a rocky debut for his new team, allowing one earned run on three hits and two walks over two innings. The right-hander, who arrived in a trade with the Marlins, is under consideration for the multi-inning relief role Trevor Williams held last season.

In addition to hitting a monstrous home run, Ronny Mauricio was smooth turning a double play at shortstop on a grounder in the ninth inning.
