I know a lot of you don't realize it, but my blog is a pretty big deal. Thanks to me making the "Mc" effect known to the public, Neil Huntington went out and got this James McDonald guy who was absolutely dominant tonight in his first Pirate start.
The newest member of the "Mc" crew struck out 8 batters in 6 innings while giving up only 4 hits and not allowing a single run. He earned his first win of the year and gave Pirate fans a lot to cheer about. McDonald struck out the first 4 batters he faced, and 5 in the first 2 innings. He looked like the real deal tonight, pounding the strike zone with fastballs that reached the mid 90's and a curveball that had batters off balance all night long. The bullpen came in and put up 3 innings while giving up only 1 run and got the Pirates a well deserved victory.
Game 2 is tomorrow night and it's Andrew McCutchen bobblehead night, so get yourself a McBobble head and watch Zach McDuke try and replicate some of James McDonald's success and beat the Rockies for the 2nd straight night.
