Two more accolades were added to members of the Dodgers organization today. Announced earlier on MLB Network, starter Alex Wood was named NL Pitcher of the Month, and Cody Bellinger was named NL Rookie of the Month.
In five starts, Wood recorded a 5-0 record with a 1.27 ERA and an impressive 41:7 strikeout-to-walk ratio across 28-1/3 innings pitched en route to claiming his first career monthly award. Wood is the first Dodgers pitcher to be awarded NL Pitcher of the Month since teammate Clayton Kershaw last May.
Although he is currently on the disabled list, the 26-year-old lefty enters play today in the midst of a four-start scoreless streak, dating back to his May 8th start against the Pirates.
