Milone Named IL Pitcher of the Week
May 18, 2015 - International League (IL1)
Rochester Red Wings News Release
ROCHESTER, NY - Rochester Red Wings left-handed pitcher Tommy Milone has been named International League Pitcher of the Week, it was announced by the league office Monday.
Milone was spectacular in his lone start of the week on Wednesday against the Toledo Mud Hens, firing 8.0 shutout innings while allowing three hits, all singles, striking out 12 - including the first five of the game - without issuing a walk. No Mud Hen reached scoring position as the left-hander faced the minimum in six of his eight frames to earn his second win in as many starts this season with Rochester.
In two starts since being optioned from Minnesota in early May, Milone has yet to be scored upon at the Triple-A level. During his time with the Twins this April, he was 2-1 with a 4.76 ERA in four starts.
This is the second IL Pitcher of the Week award for the Southern California product who also earned the honor on July 4, 2011 while pitching for the Syracuse Chiefs.
Milone is the second Red Wing to earn the honor this season, joining Pat Dean on April 20.
