Medina, Quinones, Ogando, Condra-Bogan, and Padilla each has an ERA of zero.

I don't know who "RA12" is or why they're called "RA12".  This was a home game for them and it was played in Hiram Bithorn Stadium, so I assume they're based in San Juan.

Record:  Mayaguez is 4-0, tied for first with Caguas.

Next game:  Mayaguez hosts RA12 today.
