Tyler Davis named Texas League Pitcher of the Week

MIDLAND, Texas (Aug. 28, 2017) - Frisco RoughRiders pitcher Tyler Davis was named Texas League Pitcher of the Week for Aug. 21-27, the league announced Monday.
Davis threw a complete-game, three-hit shutout Tuesday at San Antonio to garner the league-wide recognition. It was the first nine-inning outing by a Riders pitcher in more than six years. For Davis, Tuesday's gem was just the latest chapter in a dominant run through the Texas League for the 24-year-old righty. Through 10 starts with the Riders, he's 3-2 with a 2.70 ERA. He's permitted no more than one run in seven of his 10 starts.
He is the third RoughRiders pitcher to win Pitcher of the Week this season, joining Yohander Méndez and Collin Wiles , who split the award for the week of May 29-June 4.
Davis is slated to start tonight's series finale at Midland, with first pitch set for 6:30 p.m. The Riders return to Dr Pepper Ballpark for the final seven games of the season Tuesday-Monday (Aug. 29-Sept. 4).
