basically against maddux you're going to get a hit an inning(on average) to do something with
no walks

Marlins 5, Padres 4

After struggling for five frames, the Padres broke through for four runs in the sixth off Dontrelle Willis, with Mike Cameron's three-run triple the big blow. But reliever Scott Linebrink allowed back-to-back homers in the eighth, and Greg Maddux's six frames of three-run ball went for naught.
