The efficient engine that could

Greg Maddux has had a resurgence in his pitching since he was traded to the LA Dodgers. Here is an article that dissects his most recent performance - an 8 inning, 68 pitch, no result mini-masterpiece - and checks how it stacks up with the best of them, and finds that it comes out quite favourable, actually.

(Cautionary note: if you do not follow baseball, the article is not for you).

why did he not continue - having just had 68 pitches at that point in the game...have been unable to figure this bit out from afar...
