NATIONAL LEAGUE Braves pound Glavine in his return to Atlanta

Reactions to the Mets' Tom Glavine were strong at Turner Field.

ATLANTA -- Nothing seemed right about Tom Glavine's return to Turner Field -- not his uniform, not the smattering of boos from the crowd, and certainly not his performance.
Glavine, a stalwart of the Atlanta Braves' rotation for 16 seasons, got knocked around in his first start against his old team Saturday, leaving after only 31/3 innings as the Braves beat the New York Mets 10-4.
Andruw Jones and Javy Lopez both homered off Glavine, and Gary Sheffield and Robert Fick added home runs off reliever Jaime Cerda.
Glavine (5-4) gave up six runs and eight hits, his worst start since the Cubs pounded him for five runs on eight hits on opening day. In his previous start, he held the San Francisco Giants to one run in 81/3 innings.
The crowd of 40,912 was the largest of the season at Turner Field, and reactions to Glavine were strong.
When he walked to the bullpen before the game, he received a loud chorus of boos. But when he took the mound in the first inning, the boos eventually were drowned out by a brief standing ovation.
Glavine remained stoic and didn't acknowledge the response.
In the third, when he came to the plate for the first time, there was another standing ovation. Glavine said something to longtime batterymate Lopez, who in turn slapped Glavine playfully on the helmet.
Glavine helped the Braves win 11 straight division titles and the 1995 World Series. He signed as a free agent with the Mets, who gave him a three-year contract with an option for a fourth season that could make the deal worth $42.5 million.

DENVER -- Pedro Feliz homered for the second straight game in place of ailing Barry Bonds, and Kurt Ainsworth ended a four-game losing streak.
Marquis Grissom was 5-for-6 and finished a homer short of the cycle for San Francisco, which improved its NL-best road record to 18-8. The Giants are off to their best road start since moving to San Francisco in 1958.
Todd Helton had two hits for Colorado, but the rest of Rockies managed just two more to doom Scott Elarton's first start in more than a year. Colorado lost for the sixth time in eight games.
