The Pacific Coast League announced May 9 that Fresno Grizzlies pitcher Brady Rodgers has been named Pitcher of the Week for May 2-8.
In his only appearance of the week, Rodgers tossed a four-hit, complete game shutout, striking out nine in a May 4 start against Reno. It marked the first nine-inning, complete game shutout in the Pacific Coast League since August 17, 2015 when Sacramento's Ty Black did so against Round Rock. Additionally, Rodgers' outing was the PCL's first nine-inning, complete game shutout on four or fewer hits with no walks since May 7, 2013, when Colorado Springs' Tyler Chatwood did so against Iowa. Rodgers allowed only one Aces runner to reach second base all game.
The 25-year-old is in his fifth professional season with the Astros - and third in Triple-A - after being selected by Houston in the third round of the 2012 First-Year Player Draft out of Arizona State. He has gone 34-31 in 94 games (76 starts) with a 4.38 ERA (456.2 IP, 222 ER), sporting a 4.51 strikeout-to-walk ratio (366 strikeouts, 81 walks). Rodgers won his only other Pitcher of the Week award in June 2013 with Single-A Lancaster. The last Fresno pitcher to win this award was Mike Hauschild for the week of August 3-9, 2015.
