Wang stifles Cubs for first win since 2009
CHICAGO -- After two shaky starts, Chien-Ming Wang showed on Tuesday night
that he still has life in his right arm as the Nationals beat the Cubs, 3-1,
at Wrigley Field.
How good was Wang on this day? He looked like the pitcher who won a combined
38 games for the Yankees in 2006 and '07. In fact, he had a no-hitter after
five innings, broken up in the sixth, when pinch-hitter Tony Campana led off
the inning with an infield single. However, Wang was able to retire the next
three hitters, Starlin Castro, Darwin Barney and Blake DeWitt.
After throwing 81 pitches, Wang was done for the night. He relied heavily on
his sinker, and it paid off as he threw 11 ground-ball outs. He struck out
one batter and walked two. It was Wang's first victory since June 28, 2009,
against the Mets.
The Nationals gave Wang run support in the sixth inning against right-hander
Matt Garza. Michael Morse led off the inning, swung at a 3-1 pitch and hit a
solo home run over the center-field wall, his 20th.
After Jayson Werth singled, Jonny Gomes swung at the first pitch he saw and
homered over the left-center-field wall, his 13th, to give Washington the
three-run lead.
With the victory, the Nationals have won seven out of their last 10 games and
improved their record to 56-59.
