Gerardo Concepcion made his major league debut on Tuesday, retiring all four Cardinals he faced with two strikeouts. That made him the first Cubs pitcher in more than half a century to work more than one inning in his first game and not allow any baserunners. Gene Fodge made only 16 appearances for the Cubs, but he retired all six batters in his debut-- also against the Cardinals at Wrigley-- on Apr. 20, 1958.
