Age Problems

The Braves are feeling the pain of an old rotation:

Atlanta Braves pitcher Tom Glavine left his start against the Washington Nationals with a strained right hamstring after failing to record an out in the first inning Sunday, matching the shortest outing of his 22-season career.

The first four batters Glavine faced reached base, on three hits and a walk, as Washington took a 1-0 lead. After throwing his 16th pitch, to get to a 1-2 count on Wily Mo Pena, Glavine walked off the mound, then briefly doubled over.

Manager Bobby Cox and an Atlanta trainer checked on the left-hander, and a few moments later Glavine walked off the field.

The 42-year-old Glavine, who has 303 career wins, was listed as day-to-day.

The Braves saw Smoltz, Hampton and now Glavine injured this season.
