South Bend, IN – The Arizona Diamondbacks have selected the organizational Players of the Month for May, with LHP Taylor Sinclair chosen as South Bend's Pitcher of the Month and OF Brendan Duffy selected as the Hitter of the Month for the Silver Hawks.
Double-A Mobile's Daniel Stange won the overall organizational award for Pitcher of the Month, with Mobile's Cyle Hankerd taking the overall Player of the Month award.
Sinclair spent the month of May splitting time between the bullpen and the rotation, yet excelled in both roles. In six total games (three as a starter), Sinclair was 2-0 in May with a 2.05 ERA. The left-hander threw 26.1 innings, allowing just 20 hits with 26 strikeouts and only eight walks. He is now in the bullpen, and is expected to pitch in tonight’s game against the Dayton Dragons.
Duffy has been at the top of the lineup all season and continues to get on base at a blistering pace. The outfielder hit .323 for the month, including 31 hits, while also walking 17 times and being hit by a pitch twice. That adds up to a .435 on-base percentage for the month of May.
Duffy currently ranks seventh in the Midwest League with a .327 batting average and is fifth with a .425 on-base percentage.
The Silver Hawks are currently on the road in Dayton, Ohio, where they will play game three of the four game series tonight with a 7:00 PM Eastern Time first pitch. RHP Ryan Cook (5-1, 2.85 ERA) will be starting for the Silver Hawks in his first game since coming off the disabled list.
The Silver Hawks next home game is Monday, June 8th against the Fort Wayne TinCaps. Game time is at 7:00 PM Eastern Time with pregame coverage beginning at 6:40 on 1620 ESPN Radio. Monday is also a Dollar Monday sponsored by U93 and Pepsi, with reserved seat tickets, hot dogs, and Pepsi products on sale for $1 each.
