Lineups: Maxwell gets first start

First off, for those who missed it in the comments section of the previous thread: John Patterson had surgery this morning to decompress the radial nerve in his right arm. The surgery was described as "successful", which is hardly shocking. It took an hour and was performed by Dr. David Ruch at Duke Medical Center.

And for those of you headed out here tonight, you'll get to see Justin Maxwell making his first major league start.
