Central League: Yokohama DeNA BayStars 10 vs 1 Tigers
José Ruiz was a literal “fireman” for the BayStars on May 8th, extinguishing a Tigers rally in the 6th inning with clinical precision. Entering the game with runners on, Ruiz needed only 6 pitches to strike out both batters he faced, leaving the opposition stranded. This dominant outing lowered his ERA to a staggering 0.93, making him one of the few elite relievers in the league to maintain a sub-1.00 ERA this late into the spring. Ruiz is proving to be a nightmare for any hitter standing in his way.
