His change (-0.94) and sinker (+3.65) had less rise than any single game since Felix' first start of 2015!  Less than half the batters saw a first-pitch fastball, and that curve was used early & often. For most of the night, the swings against Hernandez looked tentative and defensive, and the contact was entirely harmless, with the couple line drives being soft contact.  Fangraphs confirms the eye check that there was hardly any hard contact (last season, I remember seeing one squared up line drive seemingly every other inning).
