Durham Bulls News Release
DURHAM, NC - Right-hander Dylan Floro was named the International League Pitcher of the Week after earning the win in the Bulls' 1-0 victory Opening Day against the Gwinnett Braves.
Making his Triple-A debut, the 24-year-old threw six shutout innings on just 61 pitches. A 13th round selection in the 2012 draft, Floro surrendered just one hit and did not walk a batter, while striking out one. He became the first Durham starting pitcher since RHP Mitch Talbot in 2009 to open the season with a scoreless outing.
A season ago the Cal State Fullerton product was a three-time Southern League Pitcher of the Week with Double-A Montgomery, a year in which he led Minor League Baseball with 178.2 innings pitched. In 2013 the California native was named Tampa Bay's Minor League Pitcher of the Year, following an 11-2 campaign with a 1.77 ERA in 23 starts between Single-A Bowling Green and Advanced-A Charlotte. Following his win on Opening Day, he is now 27-16 for his career with a 2.66 ERA.
