Moose Jaw Miller Express starting pitcher Mitchell Robinson is off to a strong start to the season and he honoured on Thursday with the WMBL Pitcher of the Week award.

Robinson had an outstanding outing last week against the Melville Millionaires, throwing seven innings of one-hit ball to help Moose Jaw to a 4-0 win. He finished the night with eight strikeouts and no walks.

That was the second straight start for Robinson in which he held the opposition scoreless, bringing his earned run average down to 0.94 on the year. He has a 1-0 record in three starts with 19 strikeouts in 19 innings.

Robinson is the first Miller Express player to win a weekly award this season.

Jayse McLean, who played for the Millers last season, was named Player of the Week after collecting three home runs and seven RBI last week for Okotoks.
