KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) _ Looking past John Rocker, Greg Maddux and Andrew Jones excelled, too.

Maddux struck out four in four innings, and Jones hit his fourth home run of the spring and threw out a runner at home plate as the Braves beat the Detroit Tigers 4-0 Tuesday night.

A crowd of 10,078, a Braves' spring training record, came to see Rocker's first action since the World Series _ and his controversial magazine interview.

He retired Gregg Jefferies on a popup to third, got Javier Cardona on grounder to third, then struck out Robert Fick. Rocker threw 13 pitches, seven for strikes.

Rocker was suspended by for all of spring training and the first 28 days of the season by commissioner Bud Selig after the reliever's disparaging comments about minorities, gays and foreigners were published. But an arbitrator allowed him to report March 2 and cut the regular-season suspension to two weeks.

Maddux, who has pitched nine scoreless innings this spring, allowed four hits, combining on a three-hitter. Jones threw out Karim Garcia trying to score from second on Shane Halter's single to center.

Kevin McGlinchy allowed one hit in two innings, and Rudy Seanez retired six straight batters before Rocker ran in from the right-field bullpen.

Jones, who went 2-for-4, is batting .416. Javy Lopez was 2-for-2 and George Lombard added a sacrifice fly.

Jones hit a solo home run in the third and added an RBI double in the fifth that put Atlanta ahead 3-0. Jones scored that inning on a single by Brian Jordan.

Detroit was unable to send more than four batters to the plate in any inning. Tigers starter C.J. Nitkowski allowed two runs and five hits in four innings.
