Go Woo-suk Pitches Well in Return After Serving Suspension

Pitcher Go Woo-suk, who was previously suspended after a foreign substance was found on his glove, delivered a strong performance in his return game.

Go was ejected and handed a 10-game suspension after a foreign substance was found on his glove. Following an appeal through the players union, his suspension was reduced to eight games. He took the mound yesterday (August 5) for the first time since his suspension was lifted.

After retiring the first batter on a line drive to the second baseman after a full count, he allowed a walk to the next batter but induced the following batter into a grounder to the third baseman to end the inning with a double play.

Throwing 17 pitches for one scoreless inning with a top speed of 153 km/h, Go will remain in Triple-A as a backup bullpen resource for Minnesota—which is currently locked in a tight race for the postseason—while eyeing a promotion to the big leagues.
