Two Dominican natives got awards for their great play on the field for the month of April. Boston Red Sox's ace pitcher Pedro Martinez and right fielder Vladimir Guerrero of the Montreal Expos.
Martinez will receive a specially designed and engraved trophy from the T.R. Miller Company.
Guerrero tied the club mark for most RBI in the month of April (Henry Rodriguez, 1996). On the season, Guerrero currently ranks first in the National League in hitting (.391), second in RBI (28), third in total bases (68) and third in on-base percentage (.477). Guerrero will receive an engraved Diamond Award for being voted as National League Player of the Month.
