Congrats to 2006 BlueClaws pitcher Matt Maloney on his first big-league win, earned last night 3-2 over Florida in Cincinnati. Maloney, who was traded by the Phillies for Kyle Lohse in 2007, gave up two runs over five innings to pick up the W.

“It was awesome,” Maloney said. “I got the beer shower and everything.”

Interesting Note…Matt Maloney threw a complete game shutout on 9/15/2006 in game four of the SAL Championship Series to give the BlueClaws the SAL title. Wouldn’t it be fitting if, one night after Maloney won his first big league game, the BlueClaws won their second SAL Championhip? Could happen tonight.
