MLN Newswire - www.mlntherawfeed.com - NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nashville Sounds left-hander Lindsay Gulin has been named the Pacific Coast League’s Pitcher of the Week for the May 12-18 period.
Gulin hurled six hitless innings and struck out a season-high 10 batters in picking up his first victory of the season on Thursday against New Orleans. He was removed from the outing after throwing 109 pitches (68 strikes).
For the season, the 31-year-old has posted a 1-3 record and a 3.26 ERA (11er/30.1ip) in seven games (six starts) for Nashville. He has held PCL batters to a .226 average and struck out 27 batters while walking 17 in his 30 1/3 innings.
His 3.26 ERA is the best among the Nashville starting rotation and third-best overall on the club.
Gulin’s award is the first accumulated by a Sounds player during the 2008 season. Nashville players garnered four weekly league awards in 2007, including three by pitchers (Yovani Gallardo, Manny Parra, Seth McClung).
The award is the second PCL weekly honor of Gulin’s 14-year career. He was previously named the circuit’s Pitcher of the Week in June 2003 after tossing a nine-inning no-hitter for Las Vegas.
