On August 13, 2006, LA’s Greg Maddux and SF’s Jason Schmidt hook up in a classic West Coast pitcher’s duel, reminiscent of match-ups of Koufax and Marichal, as the Dodgers beat the Giants, 1-0, thanks to Russell Martin’s 10th inning walk-off home run.

For the first time in baseball history, a 300-game winner faces a batter who has hit 700 home runs. 328-game winner Greg Maddux of the Dodgers faces Barry Bonds (723 homers) of the Giants. Maddux wins the battle, holding Bonds to 0-for-2 with a walk in eight shutout innings. Barry Bonds lines into a double play in the first inning.
