PITCHER OF THE WEEK – RHP DYLAN UNSWORTH, HIGH DESERT
Unsworth was dominant in his start at Modesto on Friday, going 7 shutout innings and allowing 3 hits while striking out 12. The right-hander out of South Africa bounced back from a tough outing at home against Lake Elsinore nine days earlier to have easily his strongest start of the season.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK – 1B D.J. PETERSON, HIGH DESERT
In his last week before being called up to AA Jackson, Peterson earned his second player-of-the-week honor with a line of .533/.632/1.200 over four games. Ranked as the Mariners’ #2 prospect by both MLB.com and Baseball America, Peterson had little trouble with Cal League pitching and at the time of his callup he led the league in RBI (73) and was second in homers (18) and fifth in batting average (.326).
