Iowa Cubs right-hander Jake Buchanan named Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Week
Jake Buchanan turned two excellent outings in to a pitcher of the week award. Minor League Baseball announced Monday its players and pitchers of the week (May 30-June 5) and Buchanan became the first I-Cubs’ pitcher this season to take home the weekly honor.
Buchanan tossed six scoreless innings on May 30 against Alburquerque. Buchanan allowed four hits without a walk and struck out two. Buchanan followed up his excellent outing against Alburquerque with a better start against the Redbirds last Saturday night.
