Wednesday 6/1/1988: Beattie and Denny receive Pitcher of the Month award
Minnesota's Jim Beattie had a terrific May, and it earned him the American League Pitcher of the month award. He struck out 29 hitters in his 5 starts, putting together a record of 1-2 while pitching 29 innings. His ERA in May was 0.79. Jim has a record of 3-6 this season, with an ERA of 2.51. In 75.1 Innings he was able to strike out 55 batters. John Denny couldn't have pitched much better than he did in May, and the National League thought so as well, naming the right-hander Pitcher of the Month. His ERA of just 0.86 helped him to a 4-1 record in May. He worked 41.2 innings, striking out 34 hitters while walking 15. In 12 starts this year John struck out 70 batters in 81.2 innings of work. His ERA is 1.65, his record 6-1. He's 8th in the National League in ERA and 7th in wins!
