Nationals right-hander Livan Hernandez has been traded to the Diamondbacks for two minor-league pitchers.
Hernandez has made 24 starts for Washington this season, going 9-8 with a 5.34 ERA.
But he knows a thing or two about pennant races, having helped the Florida Marlins win the 1997 World Series, earning MVP honors for the NLCS along the way. He also was a member of the San Francisco Giants’ starting rotation when they reached the 2002 World Series before losing to the Angels.
In return, the Nationals will receive two Class AA pitchers — left-hander Matt Chico, 23, and right-hander Garrett Mock, 23.
