Drago AL Player of the Week

The American League has named Tim Drago as Player of the Week for his recent performances against San Diego and Oakland. Drago was a combined 2-0 and 0.53 in those efforts, picking up seven strikeouts in 17 innings pitched.

On September 4th Drago gave up one run over eight innings in a win against the Padres. On September 9th Tim shut out the A's on 6 hits, striking out 4.

Tim has gone 3-3 with a 5.19 ERA since moving from the bullpen to the rotation. His nine starts have been erratic, being completely in command for five of them (3-1, 1.78), and completely shelled in three (0-3, 26.51). He took a line drive off his jaw in his most recent start, but had given up only two hits over the first 2 and 2/3.

The Indians salute his efforts as well with their own award (right). Use one to ice your jaw, Tim.
