May named Batavia Downs POTW

Rookie hurler also honored by IL
June 2, 2014

Rochester Red Wings pitcher Trevor May has been named the Batavia Downs Gaming and Racetrack Player of the Week for the period of May 26-June 1, and also named International League Pitcher of the Week for the same period.

Over a pair of starts last week, May went 2-0 without allowing an earned run over 12 innings of work, earning victories over Syracuse (Monday) and Gwinnett (Saturday).

Over his last four starts -- all of which have come at Frontier Field - May is 4-0 and hasn't allowed an earned run. The 26-inning streak without yielding an earned run has dropped his ERA from 4.97 on May 7 to 2.62 - 7th best in the IL. Over the 4-game win streak, he's allowed just one run on 16 hits and 11 walks while striking out 19.

More on May:
May, 24, was a 4th round selection of the Phillies in 2008. In 2011 he was Philadelphia's Minor League Pitcher of the Year, and each of the past two seasons he led the Double-A Eastern League in strikeouts. The Longview, Wash. native was traded to Minnesota prior to the 2013 season as part of the deal for Ben Revere.

Batavia Downs Gaming is a Video Gaming Center owned and operated by Western Regional Off-Track Betting Corporation in association with the New York Lottery.
