Glaus, McLouth contribute to five-run inning

"Two familiar names were back in the lineup Sunday as manager Bobby Cox gave first baseman Troy Glaus and center fielder Nate McLouth their first starts since returning from Triple-A.

Each went 1-for-3 and contributed to the Braves' five-run sixth inning.

McLouth had a would-be grand slam taken away by center fielder Cameron Maybin in the sixth, and had to settle for a two-run sacrifice fly on the play. Glaus had an RBI single in the inning.

It was Glaus' first major league start since Aug. 17. He slumped for six weeks before going on the DL with chronic knee soreness.

After a week of rest, he played mostly third base at Gwinnett, hoping a switch to the position he played most of his career would help get more playing time when he returned to the majors.

But the Braves have hot-hitting Omar Infante at third, so Cox gave Glaus a start at in place of Derrek Lee, who has been slowed by back and side pain the Braves traded for him to replace Glaus."
