Maddux Takes Loss, Padres Play Uno

Greg Maddux gave up two runs in the bottom of first while his teammates managed just one run against National League loss leader Kip Wells, sticking the future Hall of Famer with a loss. If you've watched much Padre baseball this year, then you understand that there simply not much to say about this game.

Milton Bradley, rumored to be DL-bound, made a pinch hitting appearance in the 9th. It was another strong at bat for Bradley, who stayed in the game after walking; Friar fans have to take this as an encouraging sign that his balky hamstring is doing better.
