Louis Varland sets Blue Jays franchise record for single-season ERA

Louis Varland recently established a franchise record with a 1.04 ERA, becoming the Blue Jays pitcher with the lowest ERA in a single season with at least 25 innings pitched. His achievement came after a scoreless ninth inning in a 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, preventing a series sweep. The Blue Jays are currently struggling in their season with a record of 47-56 and are last in the American League East. Varland, who has been dominant this season and perfect in save opportunities, was acquired from the Minnesota Twins last year and is in his first All-Star season.
