Central League: Yokohama DeNA BayStars 2 vs 1 Carp
José Ruiz turned in another strong setup performance on August 7th, tossing a scoreless 8th inning in relief against the Hiroshima Toyo Carp. Entering as the BayStars’ second pitcher of the game, the powerhouse right-hander worked through four batters on 14 pitches, allowing just one hit while giving up zero walks or earned runs. By delivering a clean, walk-free frame and lowering his season ERA to 3.77, Ruiz continues to serve as an effective and reliable high-leverage option in the Yokohama bullpen.
