It's strange to see the name Eric Milton pop up in Minor League news as Pitcher of the Week, but the former Phillie is trying his darndest to make it back to the bigs. Milton is pitching in the Pacific Coast League and so far, he's 2-0 in 12 innings pitched and given up only four hits and no earned runs.
The Phils second round pick last year, Jason Knapp, was also named Pitcher of the Week in the South Atlantic League. Knapp has seven innings under his belt and allowed just one hit. He's struck out fourteen. Also in Phils minor league news, Clearwater Threshers pitcher Yohan Flande leads the Florida State League. He's 3-0 with eighteen innings pitched and no earned runs. Also in the FSL, the Jupiter Hammerheads took two out of three from the Fort Myers Miracle.
In other news, it's hot out.
