The 31-year-old lefty went 9-6 with a 4.23 ERA in 18 starts with the Los Angeles Dodgers last year before his season was cut short in early July due to shoulder soreness.

On This Date...

On this date in 1926, Babe Ruth pulled a stunt at Mitchell Field in New York, catching a baseball that was dropped from an airplane traveling at 250 feet. That was probably super awesome. Someone should recreate that moment. Kenny Rogers perhaps? Or not... he's just the only recent gold-glove pitcher besides Greg Maddux and Mike Mussina I can think of at the moment... and neither of them are as fat as The Gambler.
Somebody Get This Guy Some Run Support

Greg Maddux is going through withdrawal. The San Diego Padres 350-game winner, who hasn’t tasted sweet, sweet victory since May 10th -- that's 14 starts -- had another letdown on Wednesday, watching his lead disappear just one pitch after his exit. The culprits: Edwin Encarnacion hit a two-run homer off Cla Meredith to give the Cincinnati Reds the lead before Adam Dunn rubbed it in with a grand slam for a 9-5 victory over the Padres. "I appreciate the fact that I’m still playing," ...

He fanned four and walked no one, scattering four runs on nine hits over five innings. Man, he is ...

Maddux, who is ninth on the all-time wins list, needs just two more victories to pass Roger Clemens. And he'll get them in LA. The 42-year-old righty will return to the club he visited in 2006, when he went 6-3 with a 3.30 ERA in 12 starts for the Dodgers, who are tied for first with the Arizona Diamondbacks in the weak NL ...
