On April 23, Maddux tossed seven scoreless innings but did not get a decision as the Padres suffered a 3-2 defeat to the San Francisco Giants.
On April 30 he allowed four runs and seven hits in 6-and-one-third innings of a 7-4 setback at Philadelphia. The future Hall of Famer then was roughed up in last Sunday’s 10-3 loss to the Florida Marlins, relinquishing five runs — four earned — and 11 hits.
Maddux set a major league record by winning at least 15 games in 17 consecutive seasons from 1988 through 2004. He was the winningest pitcher in the major leagues in the 1990s.
