All hail Zach Duke, again

From Joe Rutter's report on the game:

Duke also chipped in with a sacrifice fly in the second inning that gave the Pirates a 2-0 lead.

"I'm more proud of that than anything," Duke said. "I got an RBI off Greg Maddux. I'm going to call home and tell my parents."

Maddux (8-7) pitched well enough to win, allowing two earned runs and five hits in eight innings. Still, he came up short of career win No. 314.

"I threw OK, but I got out-pitched," Maddux said. "Their guy didn't make many mistakes and pitched a very good game. He shut down a team that's been swinging the bats really good the past few games."

What is not to like about this guy, Zach Duke?
