Hampton Returns

Mike Hampton pitched well facing batters for the first time since 2005:

He's been sidelined with multiple shoulder and elbow injuries and, most recently a leg injury. He hasn't pitched in a big league game since 2005, but Braves manager Bobby Cox said he still has Hampton penciled in for a spot in his starting rotation.

Hampton was sharp and struck out his first batter, Michael Bourne, on four pitches. He allowed only one single in two innings and only went to two balls on one batter.

That's good news for the Braves, who are going to use a very old rotation this season.
