Hernandez's single in the sixth broke up the perfect game Luke Weaver had been spinning up to that point. Hernandez has been one of the more consistent Giant's as of late, picking up at least one hit in seven of his last 10 games.

Fantasy Impact

Hernandez now has 11 home runs, an impressive total considering he had five home runs in more than 500 at-bats prior to the season. Hernandez still doesn't offer all that much elsewhere, so he's not really mixed-league viable. But in NL-only or daily lineup leagues, he can be valuable.

Gorkys Hernandez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an RBI walk in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Rockies. The home run was Hernandez's 10th on the year to go along with 23 RBI and a batting average of .284.

Fantasy Impact

Hernandez has been getting steady playing time in the leadoff spot for the Giants, and in turn, has compiled a four-game hitting streak in which he's hit two home runs and three doubles, driven in four runs, and scored three. Hernandez is punching above his weight right now, as his slugging percentage is more than 100 points higher than his career average. While he likely won't be able to sustain this pace throughout the second half of the season, he makes for a good rental right now if you can make some space on your roster.
