Cubs' Michael Rucker: Earns first MLB win

Rucker (1-1) tossed a scoreless inning of relief and earned the win Wednesday against the Nationals.

The Cubs trailed 2-0 after six innings before Rucker fired a scoreless top of the seventh and Chicago rallied for four runs in bottom half of the frame. The Cubs held on for the 4-2 win, giving the righty his first career MLB win. Rucker appeared in 20 games last season for Chicago and has now appeared in 20 games this year, mostly working in a middle-relief role with limited fantasy appeal.
