After this performance, which put his Dragons in first place in the Central League with a two-game difference over the famous Yomiuri Giants, the Antillean has an astronomical average of 1.13 runs allowed per nine innings.

In seven seasons, the considered one of the best closers in the world and a key player for Cuba in the upcoming Premier 12, has an effectiveness of 1.74, product of 58 clean scores accepted in 300.2 innings of work, with 340 strikeouts in his record.

The other Cuban who saw action this day, Ariel Martínez, from Matanzas, went 3-1 with strikeout and ticket included, in the 4-3 victory of his Nippon Ham Fighters against the Lotte Mariners, in a game played at the ZOZO Marine of Chiba.
