Cubs Powell Earns 200th Win
Cubs ace Jack Powell reeled in his 200th career victory by beating the New York Giants 4-1 at West Side Grounds. In his historic win, he notched 1 strikeout in 9 innings, yielded 1 run and 4 hits, while surrendering no walks.
"I tried to focus on each batter," said Powell after the game, "but as the game goes by, I couldn't help but think about the possibility. 200 is a big number. It's an exclusive club and I'm honored to be a member."
In his career, Powell has fanned 1,220 batters and walked 847 in 3,289.2 innings of work. His lifetime won-lost record is 200 victories and 174 defeats with a 3.14 ERA and opposing hitters have compiled a .263 batting average against him.
