NEW YORK, Sept. 27 (UPI) -- Kevin Millwood allowed two runs and just three hits over seven innings Friday night as the Atlanta Braves defeated the New York Mets, 7-4, to complete a doubleheader sweep and reach 100 wins for the fifth time in 10 years.
Atlanta, which took the opener, 3-1, joined the New York Yankees and Oakland Athletics as teams who have won 100 games heading into the final weekend of the season. The Yankees and Athletics have 101 victories apiece.
Atlanta's Bobby Cox became the first manager in National League history to compile five 100-win campaigns.
Millwood (18-8) matched a career high in wins, giving up a run in the first and seventh innings. He walked none and struck out five.
The Mets grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first as rookie Esix Snead reached on a bunt single, stole second and scored on Jeromy Burnitz's groundout. But Millwood dominated thereafter, holding New York hitless.
The Braves got all their runs on homers. Chipper Jones and Darren Bragg hit two-run shots in the fourth and Javier Lopez added a three-run blast in the sixth.
Pedro Astacio (12-11) took the loss, yielding all seven runs and nine hits over five-plus innings.
Marco Scutaro drove in two runs for the Mets, one coming on his first career homer in the bottom of the ninth.
