Once you get the Lich his Tenebrous Tentacles and Fearsome Stare will help keep them from running (albeit not incredibly reliably since you're at the mercy of pet AI).
Otherwise, you could try picking up a taunt power - that'll temporarily cause most runners to come back. Or hit a defensive-follow macro (or passive-follow, for a longer lasting effect) when your pets try to chase them.
Much later on there's the patron pools for aoe immobs and single target holds.

This. Discovering provoke has single handedly made playing MM's viable for me again. Would be nice if they would do something about the laughable pet and enemy AI though ...

Alternately, at least until you pick up a taunt, you can hit follow protective to keep your pets from running into the next mob. Wait for the runner to come back (or just move onto the next mob once you're ready, so long as you're confident you can take them and the runner).
The standard green button all MM's are given will stop this (follow passive). Keep it in your tray somewhere a little out of the way (I have it on 0). Also you can have them attack a remaining foe if there are any left hanging around.

This is useful, but I never like to keep it as is because if pets are on passive and someone decides to smack me around I'll be taking full force... And my MM's health is outdone by his Lich. This is especially possible with offensive secondaries and when dealing with runners.|

That being said, it would be better to alter the command to Defensive/Follow Me as many have suggested.
Enemies tend to just start running like hell. And I have no way to stop them as of level 20. It's not like it's every group, but it's about 1 out of 4, one guy will just take off until it gets to another group of enemies, and my stupid zombies of course follow it all the way there no matter what I command of them.
Any solution to this, preferrably near to this level and not in some distant future (I am leveling this guy pretty slowly so far).
