Todd Wellemeyer from the Chronology
May 27, 2005 - Cubs P Mark Prior has to leave the game in the 4th inning after being hit in the elbow by a line drive off the bat of Brad Hawpe. A MRI shows a fracture that will sideline the ace indefinitely but he will be back in action next month. Todd Wellemeyer fills in to earn the 10-3 win over the Rockies. Derrek Lee hits two homers Neifi Perez has a HR and 4 RBI and Corey Patterson adds a solo shot.
May 15, 2003 - Corey Patterson's 2-run HR in the 17th inning leads the Cubs to a 4-2 win over the Brewers. Todd Wellemeyer got the save for Chicago striking out three batters in the bottom half of the 17th in his ML debut. He's the first Cub to record a save in his debut since the stat became official in 1969. The Brewers set an NL record for strikeouts in an extra-inning game with 24. The previous mark was 22 by the Dodgers vs. the Reds (1972) and Mets vs. Giants (1964).
