Luis Gil, a rookie pitcher for the New York Yankees, has been making headlines with his impressive performances. He currently holds the lowest opponent batting average of .153 through a pitcher's first 19 career starts in the live-ball era. Gil has also become the favorite for the American League Rookie of the Year award. Despite a recent game against the Dodgers where he gave up more than one run for the first time since April 26th, Gil still managed to generate a lot of whiffs and weak contact, finishing with 5.2 innings pitched, 3 earned runs, 5 hits, 5 strikeouts, and 1 walk. His performance continues to earn respect and admiration. Gil is also on track to potentially win his eighth game in a row tonight, with odds at +200.
