The Binghamton Rumble Ponies, Double-A Affiliate of the New York Mets, are proud to announce that RHP Jesus Vargas has been named MiLB Pitcher of the Week for the Eastern League for the Week of August 15-21.
Vargas in the month of August has not allowed a run in four appearances, issuing only one walk and striking out 14 over 13.2 innings pitched. Making the start this past Sunday at Richmond, Vargas allowed just one hit over four innings with one walk and five strikeouts in a 6-5 Rumble Ponies win. In the series opener on Tuesday, Vargas pitched three innings of relief with no walks and five strikeouts in an 8-2 Binghamton victory.
