You can't tell a changeup from a fastball or a breaking ball. Maddux struck out eight of the 10 last batters, including Tyler Houston to end the game and complete his 32nd career shutout. He had recorded 13 strikeouts twice previously, most recently against Montreal on September 23, 2000. It doesn't mean anything. I'm more excited about winning the game and helping us win.
Strikeouts are nice but they are a small part of pitching.
Excluding Ron Belliard, every Milwaukee starter struck out at least once. Houston and Jeromy Burnitz each fanned three times. His pitches are hard to hit. He kind of nips on the corners. Maddux continued his brilliance at Turner Field.
