Facing the team that traded him and the All-Star manager that passed him over, Dontrelle Willis had center stage at Wrigley Field.

And while a rain delay cut his outing short in the sixth, Willis had already made his mark, shutting down the Cubs for 5 2-3 innings Tuesday as the Florida Marlins beat Chicago 4-3.

Willis ended up with a no-decision, but his four-hit, seven-strikeout performance showed why some thought Cubs manager Dusty Baker might select him for the All-Star team. Willis is unbeaten in his last nine starts with an 0.85 ERA. Fellow rookie Nate Bump relieved Willis.

''He wanted to finish the game, but he understood. He's got a good future and we're not going to jeopardize it,'' McKeon said of Willis. ''He's a tough kid, he's a competitor.''
