CURVE, Pa. - Altoona Curve right-handed pitcher Tyler Glasnow has been selected as the Eastern League Pitcher of the Week for the period of July 13-July 19, the league announced on Monday.

Glasnow tied a career high with seven innings pitched at Richmond on Thursday and did not allow a run while setting a new season high with nine strikeouts. The Flying Squirrels were only able to manage three hits as Glasnow picked up his fourth win of the season in a 5-0 Curve victory.

Overall this season, Glasnow is 4-2 with a 2.12 ERA in 10 starts with the Curve, striking out 66 batters in 56.1 innings. He has not allowed a walk in his last two starts.
