Glenn Otto – Texas Rangers
Otto has now picked up back-to-back wins, closing the month of May with two strong performances. He pitched five innings of one-run ball against the Angels then followed that up with a six-inning one-earned-run performance against the Rays on Monday. He’s 3-2 on the season.
