Braves 7, Astros 5

Recap: Tom Glavine took the mound for the first time since coming back to the team that drafted him in 1984. Glavine said he was a little nervous for the Grapefruit game after a group of fans started cheering him, but was able to strike two batters out while allowing a second inning homerun to Ty Wiggington. Luckily for Tom, the Braves were able to rally with four runs in the ninth to beat the Astros, 7-5.

Next game: @ Mets, March 3rd at 1:10 Pm/est

News & Notes: Mike Hampton had a sharp outting for the Braves on Saturday, throwing 15 of his 22 pitches for strikes and allowing only one single. It's still way too early to tell if Hampton will be able to stay healthy, but it is a step in the right direction...Two weeks into Spring Training and Chipper Jones has already suffered his first injury this time in his right hamstring. Jones is not expected to miss a significant amount of time...Jeff Francoeur and the Braves do not seem close on agreeing to a long term deal, in fact, GM Frank Wren says the negotiations to sign Francoeur to a single season contract are stalling. Jeff has said he would like to remain in the Braves organization.
