John Smoltz outpitched former teammate Tom Glavine to help the Braves beat New York 5-3 on Saturday, handing the Mets their first loss of the season. It was the second time Smoltz had faced Glavine after 15 years as teammates and golf buddies. The Atlanta right-hander also won on July 15, 2005. Smoltz went six innings and allowed two runs, seven hits, walked four and struck out four. Bob Wickman got Shawn Green to line out to first with runners on second and third to pick up his second save. Glavine pitched 5 1-3 innings and was hurt by his defense. The left-hander gave up five runs -- two earned -- four hits, walked three and struck out two. He fell to 3-10 against the Braves, since signing a free agent contract with the Mets in 2003.
