Maddux takes the mound against former team

Jul 8, 2007 - 1:27 PM Atlanta (46-42) at San Diego (49-37) 8:05 pm EDT

SAN DIEGO (Ticker) - Greg Maddux hopes to record his 341st career win against a familiar team.

Maddux gets the start as the San Diego Padres face the Atlanta Braves in the finale of a three-game series Sunday.

The 41-year-old Maddux (7-5, 3.96 ERA), who spent 11 seasons in a Braves uniform from 1993-2003, will look to give the Padres an edge in this rubber game of a three-game series.

Maddux, who is 8-4 with a 4.12 ERA in his career against Atlanta, did not receive a decision against the Braves on May 9, when he yielded one run and three hits over 5 1/3 innings.

The righthander was tagged for six runs and 10 hits in his last start, a 7-5 loss to the Florida Marlins on Tuesday.

The Braves will counter with Kyle Davies (3-7, 5.85), who is winless in his last five starts. The 23-year-old righthander has posted an 0-4 record with a 7.85 ERA in that span.

Davies was pounded for five runs and six hits over just two innings in a 7-6 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday.

Atlanta is looking to gain ground on the New York Mets, who lead the National League East by three games.
