Enjoying nice series versus Detroit Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a double, RBI and a run scored Saturday in the Indians' 6-1 win over the Tigers.
Impact Hernandez is now up to five hits through the first two games of the series with Detroit after recording a double and a single in Friday's 10-5 loss. The second baseman is holding down a .279/.370/.375 slash line on the season, production that should keep him locked in as the Indians' top table setter. He's leading off again Sunday in the series finale, marking his 27th start atop the lineup in the Tribe's 28 games.

Productive night against Reds Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, three RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's 13-0 win over the Reds.
Impact Hernandez is now batting .319 with a .429 on-base percentage, though he's still without a homer or a steal this season. The second baseman's average exit velocity is up but he's been driving the ball into the ground way too much; only a handful of MLB regulars have a higher groundball rate right now.

Impact Hernandez scored the insurance run for the Indians on a double to left field that scored Roberto Perez. The second baseman was the leadoff hitter in this one, and he is expected to hold that role through most of the season. He is coming off a 2019 season in which he hit .279 with 14 home runs, 71 RBI, and a .333 on-base percentage.

Indians lean on strong starters, Lindor for 60-game sprint
This could be the Cleveland Indians' last, best chance to end their World Series title drought for a whileJULY 14, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Expected to lead off Hernandez is expected to lead off this season, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Impact Oscar Mercado was the presumed leadoff hitter, but it sounds like he may end up hitting in the bottom half of the lineup. This bumps up Hernandez's value as he could now be a major factor in runs scored. Francisco Lindor will be the team's No. 3 hitter.
