Maddux goes for career win No. 342

Aug 19, 2007 - 1:39 PM Houston (56-67) at San Diego (65-57) 4:05 pm EDT

SAN DIEGO (Ticker) - Greg Maddux will look to register his 342nd career win as the San Diego Padres hope to avoid a three-game sweep at the hands of the Houston Astros.

Maddux (8-9, 4.00 ERA) did a marvelous job getting out of trouble in his last outing, an 8-0 triumph over the Colorado Rockies. The future Hall of Famer pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing eight hits with four strikeouts.

The 41-year-old Maddux has not walked a batter over his last 22 innings dating to July 28. The righthander has relinquished just 21 walks over 148 2/3 innings in 25 starts this season.

He will be opposed by Matt Albers (3-5, 5.99), who will make just his fourth start over the last three months. The 24-year-old righthander gave up three runs and seven hits over 6 2/3 innings in a 7-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday.

The Astros are looking for their second sweep in their last four series after taking all three games against the Chicago Cubs on August 6-8.

San Diego, which has lost three of four, has fallen five games back of red-hot Arizona (71-53) in the National League West.
