Angels' José Soriano lowers ERA to 0.24, best mark in MLB history through first 6 starts
Soriano's ERA is so far a hair better than Fernando Valenzuela's legendary run in 1981.
Think of any great pitcher in modern MLB history. None of them had a start to the season quite like Los Angeles Angels right-hander José Soriano. With five scoreless innings against the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday, Soriano lowered his ERA to 0.
24. That’s not just the best mark in the league, it’s the best by any pitcher in MLB history through their first six starts to the season (min. 30 innings), according to MLB.
com’s Sarah Langs . Soriano is also the only pitcher in MLB history to allow only one run in his first six starts of the season, per the Angels . The Angels are now 6-0 in his starts, with a 7-3 win over the Blue Jays .
