Garrett Williams Named California League Pitcher of the Week

San Jose, CA- San Jose Giants left-handed-pitcher, Garrett Williams , has been named California League Pitcher of the Week for his sparkling six-inning outing and victory on August 9, 2017 against the Stockton Ports. Williams tossed six scoreless frames and struck out eight batters while only surrendering a pair of hits and a pair of walks. The southpaw retired the final nine batters he faced to conclude his dominant performance.
Through Williams first two appearances since being called up to San Jose from August (A), Williams has thrown 12 scoreless innings with 18 strikeouts. Entering Tuesday, Williams has held opponents to a .163 batting average and has been especially tough on lefties limiting them to a .105 average respectively.
