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 Atlanta's rotation for 16 seasons, got knocked around in his first start against his old team Saturday, leaving after only 3 1/3 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 opening day.

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.

GIANTS 5, ROCKIES 1: At Denver, Pedro Feliz homered for the second straight game in place of ailing Barry Bonds, and Kurt Ainsworth ended a four-game losing streak as the San Francisco Giants beat the Colorado Rockies.

Marquis Grissom was 4-for-5 and finished a homer short of the cycle for San Francisco, which improved its NL-best road record to 18-8.

DODGERS 6, BREWERS 0: At Milwaukee, Hideo Nomo took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning, and Fred McGriff hit a grand slam as Los Angeles won its ninth straight.

CUBS 3, ASTROS 2: At Houston, Shawn Estes won his fourth straight decision, and Mark Grudzielanek had three hits for Chicago.

Mike Remlinger escaped a bases-loaded jam in the seventh inning for the Cubs, who are 8-5 since star slugger Sammy Sosa went on the disabled list May 10.
