Braves road struggles likely to continue vs. Cubs

Jun 10, 2008 - 1:30 PM Atlanta (32-32) at Chicago Cubs (40-24) 8:05 p.m. EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The Atlanta Braves may have a hard time claiming a win when they open a three-game series against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday.

The Braves, who begin a 10-game road trip on Tuesday, are a dismal 7-21 away from home this season with just three wins over their last 17 road games.

Meanwhile, the Cubs are seeking their ninth straight win at Wrigley Field and own the best record in the National League at home, improving to 26-8 with 15 wins in their last 17 games here.

Also working against Atlanta is the absence of third baseman Chipper Jones, who leads the majors with a .420 batting average but may miss a couple of games due to a right quadriceps strain.

Tom Glavine (2-2, 4.47 ERA) tries to help the Braves overcome their woes when he takes the mound on Tuesday.

The veteran lefthander has allowed just two runs in each of his last two starts, but has not factored in the decision during either outing.

Ted Lilly (5-5, 5.23) tries to earn his first win since May 19 when he toes the rubber for the Cubs.
