PITCHER OF THE WEEK – LHP TYLER PIKE, HIGH DESERT
Tyler Pike, the Mariners’ #9 prospect, threw the first six innings of a combined no-hitter against Rancho Cucamonga on Wednesday to earn Pitcher of the Week honors. In notorious hitter’s paradise in Adelanto, Pike walked just two and struck out eight while keeping the Quakes hitless. Two relievers finished off the gem.

It was a High Desert sweep of Cal League awards last week as Mavericks’ slugging first baseman D.J. Peterson batted .467/.515/.867 to take the honors on offense. Ranked #2 in the Mariners organization, the 2013 first-round pick hit two homers and drove in seven, continuing to heat up as the season moves along.
