Michael Mercado

In just his second MLB appearance and first career start, young hurler Michael Mercado got the job done for the Philadelphia Phillies. The 25-year-old was called upon for a spot start against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on Tuesday night and responded by tossing five strong innings. He allowed just one run on two hits with two walks and four strikeouts to earn his first career win in the 6-4 triumph. "It's one of those things that you dream about doing at a place so historic," he said.
