Barry Zito Named PCL Pitcher of the Week

Barry Zito has been named the PCL Pitcher of the Week for the week of May 25-31 after he picked up two wins in 14 shutout innings.

Barry Zito is on fire in Tennessee right now. Not Tennessee moonshine fire...Not Johnny Cash "Ring of Fire." Flat-out, Nashville Sounds fire!

After throwing 14 shutout innings and picking up two wins last week, Zito has been named the PCL Pitcher of the Week. A former River Cat (and former winner of this award in 2000), Zito scalded the newly moved-in Sacramento Giants by throwing 6 scoreless innings and racking up five strikeouts and giving up three hits against the River Cats.
