It looked like intrasquad batting practice in the first, when Glavine (6-9) let three of his first four batters to score.

He walked leadoff man Rafael Furcal, gave up a one-out single to Gary Sheffield, then allowed RBI singles to Chipper Jones and Andruw Jones followed by Javy Lopez’s sacrifice fly.
