Crabs' Cruz tops in Florida State League

Charlotte's Joe Cruz, with two wins and 14 shutout innings, won the Florida State League's pitcher of the week award. Cruz allowed nine hits, walked four and struck out 10. This year, the right-hander is 6-5 with a 3.61 ERA for the Stone Crabs.

Mississippi first baseman Mauro Gomez and Tennessee right-hander Austin Bibens-Dirkx drew Southern League honors. Bibens-Dirkz didn't factor in a decision, despite allowing just one run in 11 innings. Gomez was 7-for-26 with three home runs and seven RBIs from June 28-Sunday.

The weekly awards came out Tuesday, a day later than usual, because of the July 4 holiday.
