Hernandez batted leadoff and went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over Oakland.
Texas manager Chris Woodward switched Hernandez and Isiah Kiner-Falefa in the order, moving the rookie to leadoff while the veteran dropped to second. The tweak worked as the 23-year-old Hernandez reached base four times. He opened the game with a seven-pitch walk, then raced home from first on a double by Kiner-Falefa. The adjustment may benefit Kiner-Falefa, who is a career .344 hitter from the two hole.
