Prospect Kevin Ziomek sets career high with 13 K's.
Tigers official site

Pitcher of the Night: Kevin Ziomek, LHP, Tigers (West Michigan, A-): 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 13 K.
Ziomek, a second-rounder in last year?s draft, is excelling in his first taste of full-season ball despite too many free passes and secondary stuff that hasn?t played as well as it did in college. He has premium velocity from the left side, however, which gives him a high ceiling if the bite can return on his other offerings.
