Braves rewind: Whatever happened to...Kevin Millwood?

Pitching alongside Glavine, Maddux, and Smoltz would be a dream come true for any pitcher, but it was reality for Kevin Millwood.

Millwood's minor league numbers were nothing to write home about, but in 1997 he dominated at Richmond with a 1.93 ERA and got the call that July, earning the win in his debut July 14 against the Phillies. In doing so, he was the first Braves pitcher in five years to win in his debut.

What really put Millwood on the map, however, came early the next year. In his third start of 1998, he twirled a complete-game, one-hit shutout while striking out 13 Pirates.
