White Sox's Robin Ventura and Adam LaRoche share a pitching line

Robin Ventura and Adam LaRoche are tied for the lowest ERA in baseball history.

LaRoche's 1-2-3, pitcher-perfect ninth inning Friday night, which included a strikeout of the Yankees' Brendan Ryan during the 13-6 loss, jogged Ventura's memory to 2004, his final season, when he was with the Dodgers.

During a 13-0 loss to the Angels on June 25, Ventura retired three hitters on flyouts and gave up a single to Darin Erstad in the ninth inning.

Ventura got the call after the Dodgers asked for volunteers.

"I was done (playing after that year)," Ventura said.
