South Korean pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin of the Los Angeles Dodgers wrapped up his 2019 regular season on Saturday with the lowest ERA in Major League Baseball.

In a match against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park in San Francisco, the left-hander pitched seven shutout innings, helping his team win 2-0 and securing his 14th win of the season.

Ryu allowed five hits, struck out seven and did not walk a batter, lowering his major league-best ERA from two-point-41 to two-point-32.

He claimed the ERA title above New York Mets' Jacob deGrom, who completed his own 2019 season with a two-point-43 ERA. Ryu also became the first Asian player to capture the National League ERA title.

He also broke the ERA record of two-point-54 set up by Hideo Nomo of Japan in 1995, the lowest figure for Asian pitchers in the majors.
