Kevin Austin Millwood (born December 24, 1974 in Gastonia, North Carolina) is a Major League Baseball right-handed starting pitcher who plays for the Cleveland Indians.
Millwood made his debut with the Atlanta Braves on July 14, 1997. A year later he won 17 games, and 18 in 1999 and 2002, as well. Milwood formed a part of the Braves' star pitching rotation, which also consisted of Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine, at that time regarded by many as the best in the National League.
Before the 2003 season, Milwood was traded to the Phillies for the catcher Johnny Estrada, probably in order to cut their payroll in the midst of economic difficulties. He went 14-12 with his new team, including a no-hitter game against the San Francisco Giants.
Milwood has compiled a career 98-64 record with 1134 strikeouts a 3.89 ERA in 1367 innings. He was selected an All-Star in 1999.
