Matt Chico: Softie

More evidence that Matt Chico isn't going to go far if he walks five and strikes out no one. This is from the Elias Sports Bureau via espn.com:

"Washington's Matt Chico started and earned his first career victory in the Nationals' 5-1 triumph over Atlanta. Chico threw five innings, with no strikeouts and five walks. In the last 70 years, only two other starting pitchers picked up their first major league win, despite walking at least five and striking out nobody: Gil Rondon for the 1976 Astros and Jim Converse with the 1993 Mariners."
