José Soriano's remarkable start continues with five more scoreless innings. Soriano by the numbers this season, with MLB ranks:
IP: 37.2 (1st)

BA: .143 (2nd)
OBP: .223 (5th)
SLG: .175 (1st)
Fastball velocity: 97.2 mph (8th)
Pure dominance.
José Soriano has a 0.24 ERA 🤯
That's the lowest ERA (min. 30 IP) through a pitcher's first 6 starts of a season since 1913 when earned runs became official in both leagues!
I’m at a loss for words. Just heartbreaking…I’ve known GA since he was 18 when he showed up at Rookie ball in Mesa, AZ. We called him ‘Cadillac’ because everything he did was smooth & easy. He was a big leaguer from day one until his untimely passing. Rest easy, brother! 🙏🏽
We are shocked and saddened by the passing of Garret Anderson, a 17-year MLB veteran and a standout member of the 2002 World Series champion Angels.
A Los Angeles native, Anderson debuted with the Angels in 1994 and spent 15 of his 17 Major League seasons with the team. He finished his career with the Braves and Dodgers, amassing 2,529 hits and a .293 career batting average.
Anderson was a 3-time All-Star. In 2003, Anderson won the Home Run Derby, and as the starting left fielder for the AL, he went 3-for-4 with a home run to capture game MVP honors.
A member of the Angels Hall of Fame, he holds several franchise records including games played (2,013), hits (2,368), doubles (489), extra-base hits (796), RBI (1,292), and total bases (3,743).
In Game 7 of the 2002 World Series, it was Anderson’s 3-run double that provided the winning margin in a 4-1 victory to clinch the first championship in Angels history.
He was 53 years old.
Los Angeles Angels DH Jorge Soler and Atlanta pitcher Reynaldo López have been suspended seven games for the big brawl in Anaheim last night in which Soler charged the mound and López punched him while holding a baseball in his hand.. Both are appealing.
