Roenis Elías continues to be unhittable although he did not factor in the decision for the second straight outing. The lefty from Guantánamo, Cuba tossed seven scoreless innings in which he only allowed one hit in SSG’s 2-1 loss to the league leading LG Twins. The hurler also fanned four.
The lefty entered the game in the third inning as a reliever and shut the door from there. The crafty Cuban has now pitched 15 straight scoreless innings in which he has retired eight via the strikeout, but has no victory to show for his efforts.
