It was already told but Greg Maddux and the Los Angeles Dodgers are headed to October. In Maddux’s last start he passed Roger Clemens on the all time wins list after holding the San Fransisco Giants to one run in six innings of work.
I apologize for the late less and overall sloppiness of this blog.
In case anyone was wondering I have been having trouble today with the Behind the Dugout blog.
The Arizona Diamondbacks lost earlier on the day and with Greg Maddux going against a familiar foe in the San Fransisco Giants the Los Angeles Dodgers had to be liking the way things were lining up.
But this is the world of professional baseball and sometimes things just don’t go as planned. Maddux who has only more career wins against the New York Mets was hammered for 7 runs in 5 innings of work infront of over 55 thousand fans in Los Angeles.
The loss is the 13th on the year for Maddux and assures he will not reach double digit victories since his second season in the big leagues.
Greg Maddux has finally started pitching like the pitcher the Los Angeles Dodgers thought he was when they acquired him from San Diego but even seven scoreless innings against the Rockies on Sunday wasn’t enough to earn him career win 355.
Maddux allowed just two hits on the day, both singels, before exiting after seven strong innings. The Dodgers went on to lose 1-0 in 10 innings but remain 4 games ahead of Arizona in the NL West.
After two less then stellar starts as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers Greg Maddux came though for the team on Monday night.
While Maddux didn’t make it past the sixth inning he did pick up his seventh win of the season after holding his former team, the San Diego Padres, to two runs over 5 2/3. During the contest Maddux allowed six hits while striking out four.
The win tied him with Roger Clemens for eighth on the all time wins list. His next start will come against Arizona. (ugh)
