After a second solid performance by Tom Glavine last night, he was rewarded not with a win, but with a second no-decision. After pitching into the 7th inning and giving up only three hits and striking out three, Glavine would have a deja vu moment as Blaine Boyer for the second time and only a week later as he left a fastball over the plate just a little too much leaving Matt Holiday with a pitch he would make the most of, hitting a two-run homerun in the 8th inning. Chipper Jones had helped Glavine pull ahead in his duel with Aaron Cook, when he hit an RBI double in the first inning. The game was the shortest nine-inning game recorded in Coors Field history lasting only two hours and five minutes, primarily due to the quick retiring of batters by both Glavine and Cook. The Braves dropped the first of four to the Rockies, and look to redeem themselves tonight with Jair Jurrjens getting the start and his first ever at Coors Field.
