McDonald Now 9-8 After Subduing Rangers
Mike McDonald never let the Rangers get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his fastball, to pitch the Cubs to a win, 2-0. The second-place Cubs are 69-72.

McDonald's performance can only be described as masterful. He notched 5 strikeouts in 7 innings while allowing 1 hit. McDonald, who finished 3rd in the NL in innings pitched with 239.0 last year, goes to 9-8 on the year with 99 strikeouts.

"I liked his command," said Chicago (N) manager Jimmy W. "Mike was throwing strikes."
