MIAMI (AP) — Jose Fernandez pitched seven innings and appeared to avoid a serious injury when he tweaked his right leg on his final pitch, helping Miami snap Kansas City's winning streak at nine.
Fernandez (13-7) pulled up after striking out Christian Colon to end the seventh, and rubbed his right knee before limping to the dugout. The Marlins pinch-hit for him in the bottom of the seventh.
Fernandez had nine strikeouts to increase his season total to 213, breaking the Marlins' record of 209 set by Ryan Dempster in 2000. Fernandez also had the Marlins' first two hits, hiking his average to .286.
Fernando Rodney pitched around two singles and walk for his 25th save and eighth with Miami.
Dillon Gee (5-7) took the loss.
