Maddux Efficient

Greg Maddux also had an extremely efficient outing. Maddux went eight innings, using only 71 pitches, 53 for strikes. What I don't understand is why Smoltz pitched the ninth. Sure it was a save opportunity, but does that mean you have to use the closer? Maddux could have thrown 30 pitches in the ninth and not been tired.
