Greg Maddux misses his spring start yesterday against the White Sox because of a mild lower abdominal strain.  Bud Black indicated that he would have thrown had it been the regular season so it can’t be too serious. 

Tim Stauffer ended up picking up the start and he threw three shutout frames although he hardly coasted through it.  He walked three and gave up two hits but he struck out two.  Paul McAnulty went yard and Geoff Blum doubled and drove in two runs in the 10-8 win.
