It's Mark William Prior's MLB debut and normally that would be the top story but another Cubs steals the show on this night. Our guy Augie "Doggie" Ojeda starts at shortstop and goes 1-for-2 with a double in the 7-4 win. Way to go Augie! As for No. 22, he is stellar picking up the win and striking out 10 in the process. At the plate, Sammy goes deep and Moises Alou hits a rare triple. Fred "Big Booty" McGriff has two hits and two RBI. Prior's 10Ks in his MLB Debut are the most by a Cubs pitcher dating back to at least 1969. Thomas "Gem" Diamond (remember him?) would match Prior by striking out 10 against the Brewers during his MLB debut on Aug. 3, 2010.
