Pirates SP Paul Maholm kept his team close by stranding 10 runners Wednesday against the Cardinals, but it wasn't enough in a 5-1 loss. Maholm allowed 11 hits and four runs in six innings. He walked three and struck out six. He is now winless in his last three starts (0-2) and has allowed 15 runs over 17 innings (7.94 ERA). (Updated 05/14/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Maholm won consecutive starts April 22 and April 27 against the Marlins and Phillies. He allowed just two earned runs in 15 innings during that stretch. Ever since, he has been a weak arm for Pittsburgh. Maholm can't be trusted outside NL-only Fantasy formats. His next scheduled start is for Tuesday against the Brewers. He is on track to be a two-start pitcher Fantasy Week 8 (May 19-25) with his second start coming against the Cubs. Both starts are at home where Maholm is 2-0 with a 2.05 ERA in four starts this season. (Updated 05/14/2008).
