Greg Maddux won another game for the aged. His 300-win compatriot Tom Glavine appeared to have been showing his age when he left after throwing just 16 pitches.

A day before his 42nd birthday, Maddux allowed two hits over five innings for his 349th victory. He combined with four San Diego relievers on the five-hit shutout, using Paul McAnulty’s fourth-inning sacrifice fly to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 1-0 on Sunday.

“A lot of times Maddux (2-0) will beat you with his reputation,” Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. “Sometimes, hitters go up there trying to look for too many things. But he’s always going to give you a pitch to hit. The thing is, he has the knack of reading hitters’ body language. It seems every time you take a pitch it’s a strike, and every time you swing, it’s not. He just doesn’t throw the ball straight — and he’s got the guts of a burglar.”

In Washington, Glavine, Atlanta’s 42-year-old left-hander, departed with a strained right hamstring and was charged with two runs without recording an out in the Braves’ 5-4 loss to the Washington Nationals, who ended a nine-game skid.

Glavine (0-1) matched the shortest start of his 22-season, 303-win career. On May 16, 1989, pitching for Atlanta against the Chicago Cubs, he gave up hits to the first four batters and departed after spraining his left ankle while covering first base.

This time, he let the Nationals go double, bunt single, RBI infield single, walk. Then, facing the Nationals’ fifth batter, Glavine threw his 16th pitch of the afternoon and stepped off the mound.

“As soon as I landed, I felt it,” he said. “I don’t know that I would describe it as it having popped or something, but it definitely felt like it grabbed or it kind of rolled on me or something. So I knew right away it didn’t feel right.”

There are 20 members of the Hall of Fame who pitched past their 42nd birthday. Thirteen of them were born in the 20th century, including Don Sutton, Nolan Ryan, Steve Carlton, Phil Niekro, Gaylord Perry, Dennis Eckersley, and Goose Gossage — who will formally be inducted into Cooperstown on July 27. Maddux and Glavine each should join that group five years after they retire.

“It doesn’t surprise me because he’s a great athlete. And great athletes who can stay healthy can perform a long time,” Padres manager Bud Black said. “The way he naturally throws the ball is conducive to a long career.”

Trevor Hoffman, the 40-year-old career saves leader, pitched a scoreless ninth for his fourth of the season and 528th of his career.

Chad Billingsley (0-2) allowed a run and four hits, struck out eight and walked two over five innings.

Brewers 9, Mets 7

At New York, Gabe Kapler, who managed in the Red Sox organization last season, homered for the second straight day, doubled twice and drove in three for Milwaukee.

Corey Hart had a career-high four hits and Rickie Weeks homered off Jorge Sosa (1-1) and scored three runs for the Brewers, who won two of three in the weekend series.

Salomon Torres (2-0) worked two innings, and Eric Gagne pitched a perfect ninth for his third save in five chances.

Astros 5, Marlins 1

At Houston, Wandy Rodriguez (1-0) struck out seven and allowed five hits in seven innings, and J.R. Towles and Michael Bourn homered to lead the Astros, who’ve won two in a row for the first time this season.

Florida’s Burke Badenhop (0-1), making his first major league start, allowed seven hits with three strikeouts and a walk.

Pirates 9, Reds 1

At Pittsburgh, Ryan Doumit, Xavier Nady and Jason Bay homered and Tom Gorzelanny (1-1) limited the Reds to one run and four hits to outpitch Cincinnati rookie Johnny Cueto (1-1), who walked his first batter of the season. The Pirates swept the three-game series.

Cubs 6, Phillies 5,  10 innings

At Philadelphia, second baseman Chase Utley’s throwing error on pinch-hitter Carlos Zambrano’s grounder to short allowed Ronny Cedeno to score the go-ahead run in the 10th inning and the Cubs beat the Phillies to avoid a three-game sweep.

Cedeno walked leading off the 10th against Rudy Seanez (0-1).

Kerry Wood (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings and Bob Howry finished for his first save.

Giants 7, Cardinals 4

At San Francisco, Tim Lincecum (2-0) struck out 11 in six innings and rookie John Bowker homered for the second straight day and drove in four runs for the Giants.

Bowker became the first player in San Francisco history to homer in his first two games.

Joel Pineiro (0-1), the Cardinals’ right-hander who began the year on the disabled list because of soreness in his pitching shoulder, left after giving up six runs and 10 hits in 3 2-3 innings of his season debut.

Rockies 13, Diamondbacks 5

At Phoenix, Clint Barmes, Matt Holliday and Garrett Atkins homered, and Colorado snapped the Diamondbacks’ eight-game win streak.

Aaron Cook (1-1) went six innings, allowing three runs on eight hits. Barmes hit a 1-2 delivery from Edgar Gonzalez (0-1) to left for his first homer.
