The Old Maddux
Greg Maddux pitched a complete game last night, the 109th of his career. It was his first since 9/27/2005. Maddux needed just 96 pitches to hold the Reds to one run as San Diego took the game 7-1. What's unusual is that Maddux even went that far. I remember a number of his games with the Braves toward the end of his run there where he would come out after seven innings despite pitching well and throwing a low number of pitches. It looks like Bud Black isn't going to pull Greg like that.

I believe this is the first game that Black has let him go the distance. There have been a couple of outings where he has been in the 70s and 80s and Black has pulled him.
Managers don't pull Mad Dog anymore. When he is done, he gives a sign to the dugout to tell the mgr to pull him
