The Braves beat the Brewers, 1 – 0, as Greg Maddux hurls a two-hitter and strikes out a career-high 14, including 8 of the last 10 batters he faces. It is his 100th complete game, as B.J. Surhoff’s solo home run in the 3rd inning off Paul Rigdon is the only run he needs.

With his White Sox trailing 9-2, second baseman Tadahito Iguchi hits a three-run bomb in the eighth and then delivers a game-tying grand slam in the ninth during an eventual 13 inning loss to the Astros at U.S. Cellular Field.
