Not exactly mid-'60s Koufax, but

not terrible either. McDonald goes 4.1 innings, strikes out two, walks zero, and gives up three earned, mostly because he got no relief from the two dudes (Tanyon Strutze and Will Ohman) who came in to try and put out the fire he started in the fifth. That was really his only bad inning too, so all in all it was a pretty good showing. Of course, when Eric Milton throws a scoreless inning of relief tomorrow during a 15-2 blowout, he'll probably become the "frontrunner" again. So stay tuned.
