Maddux chases career win No. 341

Jul 23, 2007 - 1:43 PM San Diego (53-44) at Colorado (49-49) 9:05 pm EDT

DENVER (Ticker) -- Greg Maddux takes the mound for the San Diego Padres on Monday when they face the Colorado Rockies in the opener of a three-game series.

Maddux (7-7, 4.12 ERA) enters the contest with 340 career wins, two shy of tying Tim Keefe for ninth on the all-time list. The veteran righthander is winless in his last four starts, going 0-3 during that span.

Maddux is 12-7 with a 4.25 ERA in 23 lifetime starts against Colorado.

While Maddux is attempting to snap his winless streak, Colorado's Jeff Francis (10-5, 4.07) is looking to extend his eight-game unbeaten streak. The lefthander is 6-0 during that span.

Francis is just 4-8 with a 5.75 ERA lifetime against San Diego.

The Padres have been slumping, going 5-8 in their last 13 games. They are in second place in the National League West, one game behind the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Trying to make a run in the NL West, the Rockies are 5 1/2 games back of the Dodgers. They enter hoping to avoid a third straight loss.
