Knowles Is AL's Best Pitcher in April
Darold Knowles has been around the league long enough to know that relievers are often overlooked. That has never stopped him from doing what he does best -- and he did it extremely well in April and stole away with the AL Pitcher of the Month award.
The Senators bullpen ace collected 3 saves and 17 strikeouts in 19.2 innings, holding the opposition to a .181 average and posting a 0.92 ERA and a 4-0 record.
