Athletics' Cahill takes AL weekly honors

Baseball Betting Lines

08/09/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Oakland Athletics pitcher Trevor Cahill has been named the Player of the Week for the American League for the period ending August 8.

It was Cahill's first-career weekly honor.

The right-hander won both of his starts last week without allowing an earned run over a major league-best 17 innings of work. The All-Star threw his first career complete game last Monday when he gave up only three hits in a 6-0 victory over Kansas City.

Cahill followed up that performance with a stellar eight-inning outing on Sunday in a 3-2 win against Texas. In that one, the 22-year-old yielded six hits and two unearned runs over eight frames in registering his third straight victory.

Cahill has made 19 starts in a row which he has lasted at least five innings and surrendered six hits or less, which is the second longest streak in modern Major League history. He trails only Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan, who holds the record of 20 consecutive from July 27, 1972 to April 18, 1973 with the California Angels.

Others considered for the weekly honor were Toronto right-hander Brandon Morrow, who came within one out of pitching a no-hitter on Sunday against Tampa Bay, New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira, Boston third baseman Adrian Beltre and Seattle second baseman Chone Figgins.
