 | Sandoval Top AHL Starter in May Saturday, June 1st, 2013: The Westside Road Warriors owe Luis Sandoval a lot for his performance this past month. One of the league's most dominant starters in May, Sandoval tore up the opposition with a fine 5-1 mark on his way to the August Herrman League Pitcher of the Month award. "When you're pitching this well," analyzed Sandoval, "it's a lot easier to come to the park. I don't judge my performance by the stats, I judge it -- the team judges it -- by the score of the game. I could say I'm tossing electric stuff right now and that would go over big. But if I toss that same stuff -- exact same pitch selection and location -- and they bang me around tomorrow, I was awful. That's the way baseball is." It was Sandoval who did the banging in May as he tossed up 38 strikeouts in 39 innings, holding opponents to a .212 average and posting a 2.08 ERA. This year Sandoval has compiled a 6-4 mark with a 3.03 ERA in 11 starts. |   |
