Random Fact of Week: Frank Martin is the PCL Player of the Week and currently leads the PCL in ERA at 1.50. That is actually a pretty high ERA to be leading this early in the season. In the National League, he would only be tied for 6th place. Rookie John Senese leads the NL with an ERA of 0. He has pitched 2 straight 3 hitters to start his Major League career and allowed but 1 unearned run.
