Rookie Charlie Morton got rocked, manager Bobby Cox got tossed, reliever Francisley Bueno got ejected from his first major-league game ... and that was just the first game of the Braves' painful day-night doubleheader debacle against the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday at Turner Field.

The Braves got hammered twice by the National League Central leaders, who rolled to a 10-2 rout in the first game and an 8-0 shutout in the second game on Skip Caray tribute night, completing a sweep at what felt like Wrigley Field South because of so many boisterous Cubs fans in attendance.

"I think Skip had a better night than the Braves tonight — much better," said manager Bobby Cox, whose Braves have lost 12 of 18 games and gone particularly bad at Turner Field. They are 8-19 with an ERA above 5.50 at home since June 6, after posting the best home record in the NL before that.

"It's frustrating to play so poorly today," catcher Brian McCann said. "We didn't do anything good."

They fell to 0-5 against the Cubs this season, and have been outscored 38-11 in those games.

In the second game, an anticipated duel between Jorge Campillo and the Cubs' Rich Harden fizzled when Campillo (7-5) gave up four runs in the first inning on a walk and four singles, including a two-run bloop by Kosuke Fukodome.

"He pitched good," Cox said of Campillo, who had been 4-0 in his past six starts before allowing five runs and seven hits in five innings Wednesday. "Four runs in the first inning doesn't look so good, but I thought he was fine."

Harden, meanwhile, didn't allow a hit until the fourth inning and only two in five scoreless innings before the Cubs got him out to rest him as they prepare for the late stages of a pennant race. He has a 1.94 ERA in his past 16 starts, including six for the Cubs since they got him from Oakland in a July 8 trade.

In two starts against the Braves this season, Harden has allowed six hits and one run in 12 innings. He had five walks Wednesday, but the Braves didn't make him pay.

After he issued three consecutive two-out walks in the third inning, Casey Kotchman grounded out. Kotchman also grounded out with two on and one out in the fifth, before Brian McCann struck out to end the inning.

It was a rough day for Kotchman and for McCann, who popped out with the bases loaded to end the third inning in the first game, when the Braves were down 4-0.

"[The opener] wasn't a good game," said Cox, who was ejected from it after shouting an expletive at umpire crew chief Joe West over a disagreement regarding stadium lights. "Charlie had four walks, four hits, and four runs in 2 1/3 innings. We could have bounced back, but we couldn't hold them."

After pitching seven scoreless innings Thursday at Arizona, Morton (3-6) threw 70 pitches and got only seven outs Wednesday. He walked the first two batters in the second inning, he gave up a two-run double by Geovany Soto, who would add a two-run homer off Bueno in the ninth. Jim Edmonds hit a two-run homer off Morton in the third.

"I just couldn't control my fastball today," said Morton, who fell to 0-5 with a 9.00 ERA in six home starts, with 27 earned runs and seven homers in 27 innings. In five road starts, he's 3-1 with a 3.41 ERA and one homer in 29 innings.

Bueno gave up five hits and two runs in 2 1/3 innings before getting tossed in the ninth for throwing a pitch that nearly hit Alfonso Soriano in the head.

Cox was ejected when he told West what he thought of the umpire ordering the lights turned on as Nunez finished his warmup in the fifth inning. Cox extended his major-league record to 142 career ejections.

On a cloudy afternoon, the Cox said the lights were turned on in the top of the fourth inning, but didn't come on until the Braves were batting in the bottom of the inning. West ordered them turned off then because of the rule that requires they be turned on at the beginning of an inning.

Cox said turning on the lights takes several minutes, and he objected to West waiting until Nunez was finished warming up.
