ERA through 66 Games

Injuries have limited to just 66 games through his first three seasons, as he currently sits on the IL.

But through those first 66 games, Sabrowski has been one of the best relievers in baseball, posting a 1.43 ERA.

That’s the second lowest ERA through 66 games over the last 100 years:

  • 2005-06 Jonathan Papelbon, BOS – 1.39
  • 2024-26 Erik Sabrowski, CLE –  1.43
  • 2002-03 Brendan Donnelly, ANA –  1.47
  • 2014-15 Ken Giles, PHI – 1.50
  • 1964-65 Bob Lee, LAA – 1.56
  • 2013-14 Kevin Siegrist, STL 1.56

This leaderboard likely holds throughout all of major league history, due to the heavy use of starting pitchers in the early years of baseball and the rarity of them posting ERAs under 2.00 for an extended period of time. But I can’t say for certain without doing some manual research on earned runs for early 1900s pitchers.

Here’s the Cleveland leaderboard:

Sub-2.00 ERA for Sabrowski

Although injuries delayed his season debut until late June, became the 42nd player in franchise history with at least 30 appearances to post an ERA under 2.00.

Sabrowski finished the year with a 1.84 ERA in 33 games.

He’s also the 10th rookie on the list.

Lowest ERA by Cleveland rookies with at least 30 appearances:

One-Hitter with a Home Run

The Guardians nearly ended their 44-year no-hitter drought as came within two outs of a no-hitter before Juan Soto ended the bid with a home run.

Instead, it’s the seventh time in team history Cleveland has pitched a one-hitter with that one hit being a homer.

Lowrie’s homer off Hagadone also came with one out in the 9th.

6 Pitchers in a Shutout

Six Guardians pitchers combined for a shutout of the Rockies on Wednesday: , , , , and .

It was the seventh time in franchise history at least six pitchers combined on a shutout and the fifth time in a nine-inning game.

Here’s the list of the others, which includes the MLB-record nine pitchers used in a 10-inning shutout against the Tigers in 2016 which was matched for the first time on Wednesday by the Royals.
