ATLANTA, 26 May 2003 — The Atlanta Braves breezed past the New York Mets 10-4 in the National League on Saturday to make it an unhappy Turner Field return for Tom Glavine.
Gary Sheffield homered, had three hits and drove in three runs for the Braves while Robert Fick added a three-run homer and Rafael Furcal had two hits and drove in two runs. Glavine (5-4) allowed six runs on eight hits over 3 1/3 innings after being met by a smattering of boos on his return to the city where he starred for 16 seasons.
He allowed homers to Javy Lopez and Andruw Jones and left the game during a seven-run fourth inning that made it 10-0.
He was bothered by a blister on his pitching hand after the first inning and the Braves took advantage.
Horacio Ramirez (4-2) went seven innings, allowing two runs on four hits with four strikeouts and two walks for the win.
