Gattis, Maholm lead Braves to 5th sweep of season
ATLANTA Around Memorial Day weekend, there are three baseline measures for determining if a balanced ballclub is on the path to 90-plus wins without figuratively breaking a sweat.
1. Dominate opponents at home.
2. Be consistently good against division foes.
3. Show little mercy against baseball's proverbial weaklings especially during Interleague play.
On Wednesday, the...

Three Cuts: Braves waste solid start from Maholm
ATLANTA -- There are things more important than baseball. Both the Braves and the Nationals know it, and that's why both managers were visibly concerned upon learning that an Atlanta-based cameraman had passed away at an area hospital after suffering a heart attack at Turner Field on Wednesday night.
Reuben Porras, 61, from Newnan, Ga., was working for the MLB Network when he...

Three Cuts: Pirates bring end to Maholm's run
Taking three cuts after the Braves' 3-1 loss to the Pirates on Saturday night.
1. Maholm's streak is no more
He would go 25 13 innings -- 50 13 if you include spring training -- without allowing a run. But the best run of Paul Maholm's career would come to a screeching halt, somewhat ironically in the place where his career started.
In the sixth inning he issued a...

Upton homers again, Maholm goes seven strong in Braves win
The Atlanta Braves held the Florida Marlins to two hits on Monday night behind seven strong innings from starter Paul Maholm. Braves outfielder Justin Upton connected with his major league best sixth home run of the season in the sixth inning providing more then enough offense for the visitors.
Maholm allowed just one hit and three walks while striking out seven to pick up his second...
Maholm battles, finishes strong in outing
TAMPA -- Spring training has not offered the smoothest of sailing early on for Paul Maholm, the oft-overlooked arm in the Braves rotation heading into the 2013 season, but there are signs he's still capable of recapturing last season's career year.
Maholm ran up his pitch count in Atlanta's 2-0 win over the New York Yankees, throwing out 81 pitches over four innings...

Atlanta Braves Exercise Option on Paul Maholm: What It Means
When the Atlanta Braves picked up their club option for Paul Maholm, they once more ran into the familiar problem of having too much starting pitching. But the move very well may have provided them the flexibility to make a deal this offseason without decimating their starting rotation. The 30-year-old lefty went 13-11 with a [...]

Paul Maholm started us off right in NY
Winner
Fascinating notes from ESPN:
Paul Maholm: 95 pitches in shutout-- fewest by Braves pitcher in shutout since Greg Maddux had an 89-pitch shutout against the Marlins in 2000. First Braves pitcher to shut out the Mets in New York since John Smoltz in 1998. First Braves lefty to shut out the Mets since Tom Glavine in 1992.
Wow, that's awesome. Let's look at some...
Javier Baez Takes Maholm Deep at Fitch Park
Paul Maholm threw 5-2/3 innings, allowing three runs (all earned), seven hits (including two doubles, a triple, and a tape-measure home run), two walks, and a HBP, and Cubs 2011 1st round draft pick Javier Baez crushed a two-run HR off a house on the north side of 8th Street, lined a double off the LF fence, stole 3rd, and scored the game-tying run on an Oliver Zapata single (Zapata’s...
Chicago Cubs, Maholm close on deal
The Cubs, continuing to rework their starting rotation, are close to signing free-agent left-hander Paul Maholm, according to a major-league source.
Maholm, 29, went 6-14 with a 3.66 ERA for the Pirates last season, ending the year on the DL with shoulder trouble. The Pirates paid him a $750,000 buyout rather than exercise his $9.75 million option.
The Cubs have dramatically overhauled...
