NPB Central League: Yokohama DeNA BayStars 8 vs 7 Giants
Sean Reynolds put on a clinic in pitch efficiency on August 1st, needing just 11 pitches to spin a scoreless 9th inning against the Yomiuri Giants and notch his 4th save of the season. The BayStars’ dominant reliever entered in a high-leverage situation and completely neutralized the rival lineup, surrendering zero hits while striking out one batter to slam the door. By securing his 4th save (2W-0L-4S) and keeping his season ERA at a pristine 1.32, Reynolds proved once again to be a stone-cold shutdown weapon at the back of Yokohama’s bullpen.
