After two weeks in a row of boasting the Texas League Hitter of the Week, the Tulsa Drillers have claimed their first Pitcher of the Week award. Today, it was announced that Drillers starter J.D. Martin has been named the Texas League Pitcher of the Week for the period running April 29-May 5.

Amarillo's Edward Olivares was named the Texas League Hitter of the Week following his three-homer game on Sunday.
