McCarthy Gets First Win Since Head Injury 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun May 19, 2013 11:44 am

In his ninth start of the season, Brandon McCarthy earned his first win since being struck in the head by a line drive last season.


He guided the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 1-0 win over the Miami Marlins.


McCarthy struck out five and walked two while throwing 68 of 99 pitches for strikes in his third career shutout, first since Sept. 3, 2011.


He was hit in the head by an Erick Aybar line drive on Sept 5. 2012, against the Angels while with Oakland. He suffered a skull fracture and underwent surgery to end his season.
