NL: ARIZONA (74-59) at SAN DIEGO (72-59) <h3>Maddux gets start in critical game vs. Diamondbacks</h3> <div class="pre">Arizona (74-59) at San Diego (72-59) 10:05 pm EDT</div> SAN DIEGO (Ticker) -- Greg Maddux will look to continue to padhis Hall of Fame numbers when the San Diego Padres host theArizona Diamondbacks in the third game of a critical four-gameseries Wednesday. Maddux (10-9, 3.90 ERA) has won each of his last three starts,reaching double digits in wins for the 20th consecutive season,tying Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan and moving a season shy of DonSutton's all-time mark. If Maddux can continue his strong performance, the Padres willmove into a tie with the Diamondbacks atop the National LeagueWest standings. San Diego sliced its deficit to one game after beating reigningNL Cy Young Award winner Brandon Webb with a 6-4 victory onTuesday. Mike Cameron ignited a four-run sixth inning with aleadoff homer. Arizona will counter with Micah Owings (6-7, 4.69), who has lostsix of his last seven decisions. The 25-year-old rookiesurrendered three runs and seven hits in six innings of a 6-2loss to the Chicago Cubs in his last start on Friday. Owings pitched well in his only previous meeting with thePadres, yielding a run and four innings in six innings but didnot figure in a 9-5 win on August 1. The Diamondbacks have lost six of their last eight contests.
