Milestone Win For Maddux

Greg Maddux earned his 330th win to move into 10th place on the career list, which he acknowledged was "kind of cool."

Pitching for a contender puts things in an entirely different perspective.

Maddux worked seven solid innings, and the Dodgers beat the Reds 7-3 Wednesday night to complete one of the most successful months since the franchise moved to Los Angeles in 1958.

Lowe Leaves Game After Being Hit By Line Drive

The right-hander tried to field Tracy's two-out shot in the fourth inning, but couldn't get his glove in the way in time. He walked all the way to the shortstop position in obvious pain before leaving the field.
