NORWICH, Ct. - The Connecticut Tigers, Class A Short Season affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, are pleased to announce right-handed pitcher Carlos Guzman was named the New York-Penn League Pitcher of the Week for August 12-18 according to MiLB.com.

On August 16, Guzman pitched six hitless innings as the starter for Connecticut during a road game against the first-place Tri-City ValleyCats. The 20-year-old from Maracay, Venezuela retired the first three batters before he issued a leadoff walk to Tri-City designated hitter Alex Holderbach in the second inning. Two batters later, Guzman induced a 4-6-3 double play and proceeded to face the minimum through six scoreless innings. Guzman struck out three batters with one walk and threw 75 pitches.

The Tigers secured a 2-1 win at Tri-City to improve Guzman's record to 3-3 this season.

In his last three starts, including the no-hit appearance at Tri-City, Guzman has allowed one earned run in 17 innings with eight hits, three walks, and 13 strikeouts.

He posted an ERA of 0.70 across 25 2/3 innings in his first season stateside with Gulf Coast League Tigers East and West during the 2017 campaign.
