Maddux, Bullpen unable to stop Marlins in 7th
By john | July 4, 2007
Greg Maddux was cruising along when the 7th arrived. The Padres had just taken a 4-2 lead and Maddux looked on the verge of his 5th win in 6 decisions.
Miguel Olivo singled to start the inning. After Todd Linden hit a deep fly ball for out number one, Maddux hung a pitch that Hanley Ramirez deposited into the stands. After allowing a single to Alfredo Amezaga and a double to Dan Uggla, Maddux was lifted Cla Meredith.
Meredith intentionally walked Miguel Cabrera before Royce Ring came into replace him. Ring struck tou Mike Jacobs before throwing a wild pitch allowing Amezaga to score, intentionally walking Josh Willingham and then walking Jeremy Hermida giving the Marlins a 6-4 lead.
Marlins closer Kevin Gregg picked up his 16th save of the season by striking out the side in the 9th.
