PITCHER OF THE WEEK – RHP ANDREW KITTREDGE, HIGH DESERT
Kittredge had two clean outings from the Mavericks’ bullpen last week, going three innings against Lake Elsinore both times. Over six innings pitched, Kittredge gave up just one hit and walked two while striking out 10. In 18 appearances with High Desert, the right-hander is 3-0 and has logged 38 1/3 innings with nine walks and 46 strikeouts.
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK – OF JUAN SILVA, BAKERSFIELD
Silva finished the first half on a tear, with three hits in each of the last three games and a .417/.571/.583 line over his last 10 games played. The 2009 eighth-round pick has been an on-base machine this season (.417 OBP, sixth in the Cal League) and he drew four walks last week without being struck out once. With the 10-for-17 showing, Silva came around to score 10 times for the first-half champion Blaze.
