This was predicted by our own Eric Stephen:
I think Rich Hill (4-0, 1.45 ERA, 40 K, 5 BB) has good chance to win NL Pitcher of the Month for July. Only A.Nola (3-1, 1.32) had > K (43)

As True Blue LA’s Craig Minami wrote earlier today:
Rich Hill was the pitcher of the month, he was 4-0 in five starts with an 1.45 ERA. Hill also had 40 strikeouts against 5 walks in 31 innings pitched.
Hill joins Alex Wood (May) as Dodgers to win Pitcher of the Month accolades this year.
