Preview: Roberto Hernandez is set to make Braves debut vs. Cardinals

Roberto Hernandez will be making his Atlanta Braves debut tonight in a spot start against the Cardinals. Can the former Fausto Carmona keep the Cardinals at bay?

For the first time since June of last year, the pitching artist formerly known as Fausto Carmona will be starting a game at the major league level. Roberto Hernandez will be taking the mound for the Braves tonight as they look to rebound from a 1-0 loss to the Cardinals last night.

The Braves officially named Hernandez as the starter following last night’s game, and his appointment answered a question that a rash of injuries to the Braves’ starters brought up.
