Marvelous Maddux

Four times out to the mound this year so far for Greg Maddux and four times now he has won. Maddux threw seven scoreless innings today against the Cardinals in the 7-3 Cubs win. Maddux is the only 40-plus right-handed starter in MLB yet he is still at the top of his game. He threw a season high 93 pitches and lowered his ERA 34 points to a league leading 0.99. Maddux beat the Cardinals for the second time this year and helped the Cubs avoid a three game series sweep.
