BRANDON MCCARTHY RUMORS
Dugout Digest - finally in the win column
Diamondbacks starter Brandon McCarthy was having a hard luck year, to put it mildly. While his 5.63 ERA coming into Saturday night's tilt with the Marlins wasn't pretty, McCarthy was the victim of some bad luck, and still hadn't put a notch in the win column. In his last start against the Phillies, McCarthy threw eight shutout innings and was in line for the win...until...
