LOS ANGELES — Dodgers right-hander Wilmer Font was named Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Week after racking up the strikeouts in a pair of starts last week for Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Font set an OKC franchise record with 15 strikeouts last Monday, allowing one run on just two hits in seven innings in a win over Sacramento. The right-hander followed that up with 10 more strikeouts on Sunday, allowing three runs in five innings in a no-decision at El Paso.
On the season, Font — who turns 27 on Wednesday -- is 3-3 with a 4.
