NL: SAN DIEGO (61-51) at ST LOUIS (51-59) <h3>Maddux looks to snap lengthy winless streak vs. Cardinals</h3> <div class="pre">San Diego (61-51) at St Louis (51-59) 8:10 pm EDT</div> ST. LOUIS (Ticker) - After a rough end of July, the San DiegoPadres are getting back on track, and it's no surprise theirpitching is the reason. Greg Maddux (7-8, 4.20 ERA) takes the mound as the Padrescontinue a four-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals onWednesday. Jake Peavy extended his scoreless inning streak to 19 innings,allowing just three hits in six innings and Kevin Kouzmanoffdrove in a pair in a 4-0 win on Tuesday. It was the majorleague-leading 16th shutout of the season for San Diego, whichboasts the best ERA in the league at 3.50. However, Maddux has been a deterrent to that mark, having gone0-4 with an ERA of 5.35 in his last seven starts. The good newsis Maddux should get back on track against the Cardinals, as hehas won eight of his last 11 starts against them. On Friday,Maddux allowed three runs and eight hits in 6 1/3 innings, butdid not figure into the decision in a 4-3 win over SanFrancisco. San Diego lost eight of 11 to end July, but has won five ofseven to begin August to has pull with one game of the ArizonaDiamondbacks (63-51) for first place in the National LeagueWest. As for St. Louis, it has lost six of seven and will look to KipWells (4-13, 5.58) to help stem the tide. Wells, who will try and avoid becoming the majors' first 14-gameloser, pitched well in his last start but came away with ano-decision. The righthander allowed two runs and six hits insix innings in a 3-2 loss to Washington on Friday, and remainswinless in his last three starts.
