Rick Sutcliffe (14-4) became the first NL pitcher to reach the 14-victory mark with Wednesday night`s 6-3 triumph over San Diego, which snapped a four- game Cub losing streak..

”I think we have really turned him around and gotten him straightened away,” said Michael. ”He`s a different pitcher this year. Believe me, he`s not throwing harder. Last year, he got the ball to 90 (miles an hour). This year, he hasn`t got the ball to 90. But he`s in charge on the mound now. I feel good about how we`ve helped him come around.”
