ATLANTA - Chipper Jones had a two-run single and Andruw Jones followed with a two-run double in the first inning as Atlanta bounced back from its most lopsided loss in three seasons to beat Florida.

After Braves ace Greg Maddux was pounded for three homers and nine runs in only two innings of a 17-1 loss Saturday night, the Braves responded quickly against Florida starter Brad Penny (0-1).

Rafael Furcal went 4-for-5, scored two runs and drove in another and Andruw Jones went 3-for-5 with a homer and four RBIs. Robert Fick and Gary Sheffield also homered to back Horacio Ramirez (1-1).

Pirates 2, Phillies 0

PHILADELPHIA - Kris Benson pitched seven shutout innings and scored a run as Pittsburgh beat Philadelphia.

Benson (2-0), who allowed one unearned run in 6 1-3 innings in a season-opening win against Cincinnati, gave up six hits and a walk. He struck out six.

Mike Williams pitched the ninth for his third save for the Pirates, who are off to a 5-1 start for the second straight year.

Phillies starter Brett Myers (0-1) struck out a career-high 11 in the loss.

Expos 8, Mets 5

NEW YORK - Jeff Liefer hit a three-run homer off Armando Benitez in the ninth inning, giving Montreal the victory.

Benitez (0-1) entered with a 5-4 lead provided by Tony Clark, who hit a go-ahead, two-run shot in the sixth inning in his Mets debut.

Scott Stewart (1-0) pitched one hitless inning for the win, and Rocky Biddle got three outs for his second save.

Giants 5, Brewers 0

MILWAUKEE - Kirk Rueter (1-0) pitched six scoreless innings and San Francisco remained unbeaten despite resting half its starters.

Giants manager Felipe Alou held Barry Bonds, Ray Durham, Benito Santiago and J.T. Snow out of the starting lineup, but the makeshift team that played was good enough to defeat the Brewers, who are 0-6 for the first time in franchise history.

Rich Aurilia hit a solo homer off Wayne Franklin (0-1) for the Giants, who matched their 6-0 start of a year ago when they went on to win the NL pennant.

Rockies 8, Diamondbacks 3

DENVER - Todd Helton hit a three-run homer off Curt Schilling and Colorado beat Arizona for its fourth straight win.

Helton's homer highlighted a four-run first inning against Schilling (0-1). He and teammate Randy Johnson are a combined 0-2 after two starts apiece this season.

The two-time defending NL West champions have lost four straight and are 1-5, equaling the worst start in their six-year history. The Diamondbacks also opened 1-5 in their inaugural season of 1998.

Colorado's Jason Jennings (1-1), last season's NL Rookie of the Year, went five-plus innings, allowing six hits and three runs.

Dodgers 4, Padres 3, 13 innings

SAN DIEGO - Brian Jordan's bases-loaded grounder drove in the go-ahead run in the top of the 13th inning and Los Angeles beat San Diego to avoid a four-game sweep.

With one out, Jordan hit a slow roller to third base. Sean Burroughs charged and fielded the ball, but couldn't get it out of his glove cleanly and decided to throw out Jordan at first rather than try for a close play with Mike Kinkade at the plate.

Kinkade beat out an infield single off Jaret Wright (0-1) with one out when Burroughs couldn't dig the ball out of his glove after making a diving stop. Cesar Izturis beat out a bunt down the third base line and Shawn Green walked to load the bases and bring up Jordan.

Guillermo Mota (1-0) pitched two innings for the win.
