Following six more scoreless innings tonight, Shohei Ohtani's ERA is 0.74. Through 10 starts, the lowest ERAs in major league history:
Jacob deGrom, 2021: 0.56
Juan Marichal, 1966: 0.59
Shohei Ohtani, 2026: 0.74
Hitters are slashing .144/.224/.211 against him. Just incredible.

Shane McClanahan was DOMINANT this month:
32 IP
1.41 ERA
0.84 WHIP
28 K | 6 BB
He's allowed 1 or fewer runs in 6 of his last 7 starts dating back to his final outing of April 🔥
There have been 20 instances since at least 1900 of a pitcher allowing 1 or 0 runs in a calendar month with at least 30 IP
Cristopher Sánchez and Jacob Misiorowski this May are the only ones to do it in the SAME month in the same year

Harrison Bader tells me he doesn’t have plantar fasciitis- it’s a heel pad injury and should heal quickly. He’s in a boot for a few days but isn’t concerned he’ll miss much time.
