Los Angeles Angels pitcher José Soriano made MLB history on Wednesday night in Toronto, Canada, after throwing five scoreless innings against the Toronto Blue Jays, pushing his ERA down to an incredible 0.24 through six starts in the 2026 MLB season. The 27-year-old right-hander has allowed just one earned run all year, leading the Angels to a perfect 6-0 record in his starts. This early-season dominance has sparked attention across baseball because it places Soriano ahead of every pitcher in MLB history through their first six outings, making his form one of the biggest talking points of the season.
Soriano’s latest outing showed complete control as the Blue Jays struggled to get clean contact, while Angels fans at the ballpark reacted loudly to every sinking fastball. His performance also helped Los Angeles secure a 7-3 win.
One of the most talked-about moments came from his pitch movement earlier in the week:

His only blemish came earlier in April against Atlanta, where Drake Baldwin hit a solo home run.

Soriano’s rise has been powered by elite sinker movement and a sharp knuckle curve, while he now ranks among MLB’s best in strikeout rate. More details on pitching trends can be found on the official MLB site . Fans tracking Angels progress can also read updates here .
