James McDonald yielded three runs on five hits and two walks over 5 2/3 innings but left with a no-decision in Friday's 7-4 win over the Cubs. He also hit a batter. McDonald had pitched well his last two times out, but failing to go deep into a game is nothing new for him. He's now walked 49 over 97 2/3 innings this season, good for a 4.5 BB/9 rate. Though he still has untapped potential, the inconsistency with McDonald has made him a less than ideal mixed league play.
