Paul Maholm allowed just two runs over seven innings but the Braves fell to the Mets on Tuesday. Maholm was simply out-dueled by Mets right-hander Zack Wheeler, who was making his major league debut. The veteran lefty struck out seven New York batters and did not issue a walk, but he fell to 7-6. Maholm will get the Brewers in Milwaukee next time out.

Paul Maholm held the Nationals to three runs -- two earned -- over six frames in Sunday's 6-3 win. The left-hander permitted just five hits, didn't walk anyone and struck out four. Maholm has been prone to the occasional blowup start this season, including the previous time out against the Blue Jays. He's been good way more often than not, though, and will take a 3.68 ERA and 1.24 WHIP into Los Angels next weekend.

Paul Maholm yielded five runs in six innings Tuesday in a no-decision against the Blue Jays. Maholm gave up four runs in the bottom of the first inning, but settled down from there and kept the Braves in the ballgame. All told, he allowed 10 hits and one walk while fanning three. He'll carry a 3.74 ERA into a safer matchup against the Nationals this weekend.

Paul Maholm allowed just an unearned run over 7 1/3 innings in defeating the Twins on Wednesday. Unfortunately, Maholm's two bad starts this year were really bad, because he's given up just nine earned runs in the other eight. This is the fourth time he's gone without allowing a single earned run. Overall, he's 6-4 with a 3.38 ERA.

Paul Maholm allowed four runs (two earned) in six innings Friday in a win over the Dodgers. Maholm was in line for the loss before Justin Upton launched a grand slam in the bottom of the sixth inning. The southpaw gave up eight hits (including a home run) and a walk while notching three strikeouts. While Maholm hasn't been able to match his early dominance, he still makes for a useful mixed in mixed fantasy leagues.

Paul Maholm was shelled for six earned runs over 4 1/3 innings Saturday in a loss to the Giants. He yielded eight total hits -- including a first-inning solo homer to Pablo Sanodval -- while also issuing three walks. Maholm was almost unhittable through his first three starts of the 2013 regular season, but he has begun to regress in recent weeks. The 30-year-old right-hander is still a decent option in mixed fantasy leagues.

Paul Maholm took a tough loss on Wednesday, allowing just two runs over eight innings against the Nationals. After getting roughed up in his last outing, it was good to see the southpaw rebound with a strong showing. Unfortunately his counterpart, Jordan Zimmermann, was a little bit better, so Maholm didn't earn a win for his efforts. A two-run homer by Ian Desmond was the only blemish against Maholm on the night. He'll try to get back in the win column Monday against the Reds.

Paul Maholm's tremendous start to the 2013 season came to a screeching halt on Friday as the Tigers hammered him to the tune of eight runs on 10 hits in just 3 2/3 innings. Maholm also issued three free passes and struck out three in his shortened evening. The Tigers struck for four runs in the third inning, and tacked on another four-spot in the fourth before chasing Maholm from the game. Even with this abysmal outing, he'll still take a solid 3-2 record, 3.30 ERA and 28/11 K/BB ratio into Wednesday's home tilt against the Nationals.

Paul Maholm allowed three runs over six innings, and the Braves lost to the Pirates on Saturday. The runs were the first allowed by Maholm in 2013, ending an incredible stretch of 25 2/3 scoreless innings. Even with the loss, Maholm has a stellar 1.03 ERA and 0.87 WHIP through four starts. He'll try to get back in the win column next Friday night against the Tigers.
