(Sports Network) - Veteran southpaw Tom Glavine looks for his first win of 2008 and the 304th of his career today when the Atlanta Braves finish up a three-game series with the Cincinnati Reds at Turner Field.
Glavine, who won No. 300 with the New York Mets last season, is 0-1 with three no-decisions in his return to the Braves, the team that drafted him in the second round back in 1984.
He took a turn on the 15-day disabled list after leaving a game with a leg injury on April 13. He returned on April 29 at Washington and got a no- decision after allowing six hits and two runs in six innings.
The Braves are 0-4 in games Glavine has started this season.
He is 27-12 lifetime against the Reds in 48 starts with a 3.34 earned run average in 317 2/3 innings.
Bronson Arroyo ended a five-start winless skid in his last outing for Cincinnati.
The Key West, Florida native was touched for six hits and three runs in six innings of the Reds' 4-3 defeat of St. Louis on April 28.
Previously, he was 0-3 with two no-decisions in five 2008 starts.
Arroyo is 4-1 in nine appearances - eight starts - in his career against the Braves.
On Saturday, Brian McCann stroked a two-run double during a six-run seventh inning, as the Braves pulled away for a 9-1 victory.
Jo-Jo Reyes (1-0), recalled from Triple-A Richmond earlier in the day, allowed four hits and a run over 5 1/3 innings to get the win. The 23-year-old left- hander walked three and struck out five batters.
Yunel Escobar had two hits with an RBI and scored twice for Atlanta, which has won two straight after a four-game skid. The Braves went just 1-6 against Cincinnati last season, having been swept last July 16-18 at Atlanta. However, now the Braves will try for the sweep on Sunday.
Jeff Keppinger had two of Cincinnati's four hits. Brandon Phillips knocked in the lone run for the Reds, who lost 2-0 on Friday, have dropped three in a row.
Matt Belisle (1-2) was charged with eight hits and two runs over 5 1/3 innings to suffer the defeat. It was his third start of the season after being on the disabled list due to soreness in his right forearm.
Cincinnati won six of its seven meetings with the Braves a year ago and has won eight of the last 12 matchups, including four of six in Atlanta.
