LINCOLN, Nebraska – Greg Minier has been named the Rawlings Pitcher of the Month for July, the American Association has announced.
During the calendar month, Minier went 3-1 with a 1.61 ERA in five starts, totaling 28 innings with 27 hits, six runs, five earned, seven walks and 34 strikeouts. Minier did not allow a home run, and opponents hit .257 against him.
Minier also owns the lowest qualified ERA in the American Association this year, going 5-5 with a 2.38 ERA in 13 starts to begin the year. Over 72 innings, he’s allowed just 62 hits, 25 runs, 23 walks and struck out 73 hitters.
