Their was a blow to the Athletics teams hopes early in the month when they lost starting pitcher Tim Keefe to injury. He will miss 3-4 weeks of the season with elbow tendinitis.
With both sides of the team showing some solid form their were a few good performers to select this months star from. We have decided to go for Pitcher Pud Galvin this month. Galvin gave a solid performance on the way to 7 wins from 10 games starts while pitching 90 innings. He gave up 74 hits and 16 Earned runs for an ERA of 1.60
