Go Woo-seok (28, Triple-A affiliate Toledo Mud Hens of the Detroit Tigers) continues his quiet challenge. He is maintaining a stable performance with three consecutive scoreless outings.

On the 22nd (Korean time), Go made his sixth appearance of the game in the bottom of the 9th at Fifth Third Field in Toledo, Ohio, USA, in a home game against the Saint Paul Saints (Triple-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins) in the '2026 Minor League.' He pitched one inning without allowing a hit, recording one strikeout in a scoreless performance.

His fastest pitch today reached 94.4 mph (approximately 152.2 km/h). With this, Go Woo-seok extended his scoreless streak to three consecutive games since the match on the 4th, while finally lowering his season ERA to the 2nd-point range (2.95), making a strong statement for a call-up to the big leagues.

In today's game, Go Woo-seok struck out the leadoff batter, Ben Ross, in the bottom of the 9th when the team was trailing 9-10, after a full-count battle. The initial call was a walk, but Eduardo Valencia, who was in sync with Go, challenged the call using the ABS (Automatic Ball-Strike System), successfully overturning the decision. He successfully converted a well-placed pitch outside the zone into a strike.

Momentum with Go Woo-seok, he started nervously with three balls against the next batter, Tanner Schabel, but secured the second out by getting a fly ball to right field after another full-count battle.

The duel with the final batter, Noah Cardenas, was also clean. A batted ball pressured by Go's pitching rolled weakly toward third baseman Max Anderson, who fielded it and threw accurately to first baseman Jay Jung to record the final out of the inning.

It was truly a 'perfect pitching' performance, allowing no baserunners against just three batters. Go Woo-seok, who has dominated the Toledo mound and firmly established himself in the 2nd-point ERA range, is moving closer than ever to a return to the big leagues.
