Mad Dog, Junior, and . . . D-Back Max

349 The number of career victories (349) for Greg Maddux. He got win number 349 back on April 13, but he has given up 16 earned runs in 26 innings and is 0-3 in his last four starts while trying to become just the ninth player in history to record 350 victories - and that includes seven scoreless innings in a no-decision against the Giants. He lost Sunday to the Marlins, and when asked about the milestone being put on hold yet again he replied in typical Maddux fashion, "Enjoy the off day on Monday and get ready to play on Tuesday - there is no big picture in baseball." His next start is Friday at home against Colorado.

11 Ken Griffey, Jr. has now gone (11) consecutive games without hitting a homerun as he remains three big flies shy of becoming just the sixth member of the 600-homerun club. He nearly got number 598 on Monday, but Cubs outfielder Felix Pie brought one back from above the wall in straight away center - something that Junior has been known to do to opposing hitters a time or two throughout his career.

13 Arizona Diamondbacks prospect Max Scherzer made his major league debut last Tuesday in perfect fashion - he retired all (13) batters he faced, including seven by strikeout, in a relief appearance against the Houston Astros. He said after the game, "I was so anxious to get out there, so prepared to finally make my major league debut." On Monday, Scherzer made his first start - and gave up nine base runners in four innings as the Phillies tagged him for his first big league loss.

54 Boston third baseman Mike Lowell drove home 120 runs last season - but he began this season by going (54) consecutive at bats without an RBI. He hit a two-run homerun against Detroit on Monday to get on the board, but after placing fifth in the league in RBI last season, he was the last player in baseball with at least 50 at bats to get an RBI this season.

396 Chipper Jones hit his tenth homerun of the season on Tuesday night - it was also long ball number (396) for his career as he moves closer to becoming just the third switch-hitting member of the 400-homerun club. The others are, of course, Hall of Fame legends Mickey Mantle and Eddie Murray - and one would guess Chipper has reached that point in his career where talking about Cooperstown seems appropriate.

667 The Diamondbacks boast a 22-11 record for a (.667) winning percentage - the best in baseball as the season is fully into week six. Brandon Webb is one of the main reasons for Arizona's success, having won all seven games he has started. The Red Sox, Angels, and Cardinals also have 22 wins - but they also have lost more games so far than the D-Backs.
