Nashville Sounds News Release

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Nashville Sounds left-hander Lindsay Gulin has been named the Pacific Coast League's Pitcher of the Week for the August 18-24 period, his second weekly honor of the 2008 campaign.

The left-hander went 2-0 with a 0.69 ERA (1er/13.0ip) in his two quality starts for the Sounds and paced the league with 14 strikeouts in 13.0 innings pitched during the week.

Gulin started the week by throwing six innings against Round Rock on Monday, August 18th and allowed one run on seven hits and struck out six batters to get the victory. He followed that performance with seven shutout innings against Round Rock on Saturday, August 23rd and struck out eight batters to get his second victory of the week.

For the season, the 31-year-old has posted a 7-7 record and a 3.63 ERA (53er/131.1ip) in 25 games (22 starts) for Nashville. He has held PCL batters to a .225 average and struck out 115 batters in his 131 1/3 innings.

His 3.63 ERA is currently tied for second among all Pacific Coast League hurlers this season.

The Southhampton, New York native was a mid-season PCL All-Star and pitched one shutout inning in the PCL's victory over the International League in July's Triple-A All-Star Game.

Gulin's award is the second accumulated by a Sounds player during the 2008 season. The southpaw was previously honored as the PCL Pitcher of the Week for the May 12-18 period. Nashville players garnered four weekly league awards in 2007, including three by pitchers (Yovani Gallardo, Manny Parra, Seth McClung).

The award is the third PCL weekly honor of Gulin's 14-year career. He was also named the circuit's Pitcher of the Week in June 2003 after tossing a nine-inning no-hitter for Las Vegas.

Gulin is scheduled to take the hill for his next start at 7 p.m. on Thursday evening at Greer Stadium against Albuquerque in the Sounds' final home game of the 2008 season.
