Glavine gets win

(AP) – Tom Glavine picked up his first win in his second stint with Atlanta as the Braves’ patchwork bullpen managed to hold things together against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Doesn’t seem to matter what Milwaukee starters do these days. The Brewers’ bullpen problems extend far beyond Eric Gagne.

Glavine was so-so for 5 2-3 innings but still won his first game for the Braves in six years, thanks to three solo homers and Brian McCann’s three RBIs in an 8-6 victory over the Phillies on Wednesday night.

Glavine (1-1) allowed four runs and four hits. He took a one-hitter into the sixth before the Phillies cut an 8-0 deficit in half. The 42-year-old spent the previous five seasons with the New York Mets after pitching his first 16 in Atlanta.

“It feels good,” he said. “Nice to get back on the board and feel like I’m contributing.”
