Fernandez: Tampa Bay Rays

Tampa Bay Rays: Fernandez allowed a career-high seven runs over 3 1-3 innings in the Miami Marlins' 10-6 loss Monday to the Tampa Bay Rays, according to Times Colonist. "I wasn't nervous ... I was a little pumped up," said Fernandez, who pitched before a large group of family and friends. "I was trying to do a little too much, maybe. It's great to come home. I'm sorry that it didn't come out the way it should be. I tried my best, and hopefully next time is going to be better." ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Rookie Jose Fernandez struggled in his Tampa Bay homecoming. Fernandez came to the United States by boat as a Cuban refugee in 2008. The 6-foot-2, 242-pound right-hander was selected 14th overall out of his nearby Tampa, Fla., high school in the 2011 amateur draft. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
