Maddux 5-0
The Cubs defeat the Brewers 6-2, earning Maddux the first 5-0 start of his career. It wasn't Maddux's strongest outing of the season, but both times the Brewers threatened to take the lead, Maddux found a way out of the inning. Kudos to the Cubs relievers, who tossed three no-hit innings while striking out six. The Cubs bullpen is pitching very well, lowering their ERA to 3.56 and they're now striking out batters at a rate of 8.3 per 9. It looks to me that the money spent on the bullpen this off season was well worth it.
