Pitcher of the Week, May 13-19: Kason Gabbard
Before his call-up to start against Atlanta May 20, Kason Gabbard had earned SoxProspects.com Pitcher of the Week for May 13-19, in a May 14 start against Toledo (Detroit). Over five innings, the lefty Gabbard held the Mud Hens to two hits, striking out seven and walking one, while not allowing a run and earning a win. In eight starts with Pawtucket, Gabbard (25) is 2-1 with a 2.75 ERA, allowing 12 ER on 32 hits (35K/12BB) in 39.1 IP. Honorable Mention: Michael Bowden, a two time winner who lost this week's vote by a tie-breaking vote (5.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 K).
