)Feast or famine There are 3 pitchers with 6-0 records in the major leagues today. One is
previous Cy Young Award winner Robbie Ray of the Giants. Another is treasured totally free representative acquisition Max Fried of the Yankees.The third? Reducer Jorge López
of the Nationals, who is somehow 6-0 regardless of a 6.86 ERA.This isn’t a case of López continuously quiting leads and after that having his teammates rescue him offensively. In four of his 6 victories, he produced a scoreless trip, and he allowed one run in the other two. The reason his ERA is so high is since he’s already had 3 getaways allowing at least 3 runs– and didn’t pick up a choice in any
of them.In the live ball age, the most wins a pitcher has received in a season with an age over 6.00– while pitching specifically in relief– is seven. Bob Kline went 7-2 with a 6.80 period for the Senators and A’s in 1934, George Frazier went 7-8 with a 6.39 period for the Cubs in 1985, and Curt Leskanic went 7-5 with a 6.23 ERA for the Rockies in 1996.
