Gio Gonzalez of the Athletics and Jose Bautista of the Blue Jays have been named American League Co-Players of the Week for the period ending July 3rd. Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez took home the National League honors. In a pair of starts, Gonzalez went 2-0 with a 0.60 ERA and a Major League-leading 16 strikeouts en route to winning his first career A.L. Player of the Week honor. In addition to being the only pitcher in the league to record two wins last week, Gonzalez finished second in the league in ERA and innings pitched. On Tuesday, June 28th, the left-hander stymied the Florida Marlins over a season-high eight innings, allowing one hit and striking out nine as the A’s defeated the visiting Marlins, 1-0. Emilio Bonifacio of the Marlins led off the game with a single, but Gonzalez outdueled Javier Vazquez the rest of the way for his second one-hit performance of the season, last accomplishing the feat on May 17th with seven innings of one-hit ball against the Angels. Bautista, who finished the 2011 balloting as the leading vote-getter in All-Star Game history with more than seven million votes, batted .391 (9-for-23) with three doubles, four home runs and eight RBI in seven games for his fourth career weekly honor (last: August 30, 2010). Among the league leaders, the 30-year-old paced the A.L. with 24 total bases and a 1.043 slugging percentage, tied for first in homers and RBI and tied for second in runs scored (6), walks (5) and doubles. On June 28th, Bautista homered and drove in three runs as the Jays fell to the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-6, at Rogers Centre. In eight games last week, the two-time National League All-Star (2005 and 2008) batted .393 (11-for-28) and led the Majors with six home runs, 10 RBI, a 1.071 slugging percentage and 30 total bases. The 33-year-old veteran also ranked among N.L. leaders with nine runs scored (T-1st) and 11 hits (T-2nd). Ramirez started the week by logging his 24th career multi-home run effort on June 27th vs. Colorado, going 3-for-4 with two homers, a double, three RBI and three runs scored in a 7-3 Cubs victory. On Thursday, June 30th, his game-tying blast in the bottom of the ninth against the San Francisco Giants helped the Cubs to an eventual 5-2 extra inning victory in the rubber match of a three-game set with the Giants at Wrigley.
