Congratulations!!!

RHP Chris Devenski got to the party late. As the PTBNL in the Brett Myers trade with the White Sox, he only got in five starts with his new club, the Lexington Legends, before the season ended. The last of those five starts was a memorable one. Devenski threw a 16-strikeout complete game no-hitter, the first in Lexington Legends history. Devenski had never pitched beyond the seventh inning in his two years in the minor leagues, yet he was only one fifth-inning walk away from a perfect game in his final start of the season.

Devenski was nominated for a MiLBY award, in which the fans vote for, among other things, the Game of the Year. This year Devenski's no-hitter was the winner. Congratulations to Chris and to all of his Legends teammates on this well-deserved recognition!

MiLBY Awards

Voting for the minor league MiLBY Awards is now open and you have the chance to vote for a few future Astros.

PLAY - Austin Wates over the wall catch and Jake Goebbert collision at home plate

BREAKOUT PROSPECT - Mike Foltynewicz

GAME - Chris Devenski's no hitter and Jesse Wierzbicki's hitting for the cycle

PROMO - The Home Run Derby aboard the U.S.S. Yorktown which featured Lexington Legend's players Matt Duffy and Zach Johnson

I object most vehemently that the Lancaster Jethawks weren't nominated for Team of the Year, but I guess they can take solace in their California League Championship trophy!
