ATLANTA (AP) -- The Toronto Blue Jays -- and especially Carlos Delgado -- didn't treat the Atlanta Braves' famed pitching staff with the least bit of respect.

Delgado homered twice and had a career-best six RBI, and the Blue Jays pounded Kevin Millwood for a career-high nine runs in another dismal performance by an Atlanta starter as Toronto won 12-8 Wednesday night.

Delgado hit a grand slam in the fifth and added a two-run shot in the ninth to seal the victory. The Braves surrendered a season high in runs.

"We put a show on tonight," Delgado said.

Atlanta starters, long considered the best in the game, have a 10.92 ERA during the first six games of this interleague homestand, giving up 38 earned runs in 31 1/3 innings. Twice against the Blue Jays, they gave up five runs in the opening inning.

"They've got a really good lineup," Millwood (4-5) said. "But when you make good pitches, you can get anybody out. I didn't do that."

He gave up five runs in the first after Gold Glover Andruw Jones misplayed a liner that should have been the third out. The Braves, who have lost four of their past six games, fought back to tie the score at 5 in the fourth, but Millwood couldn't get another out.

Shannon Stewart led off the fifth with a single, Craig Grebeck followed with one of his three doubles, and Raul Mondesi walked to load the bases.

Then, Millwood hung a 1-2 breaking ball to Delgado, who went the opposite way to left for his sixth career grand slam.

Delgado's second homer, his 22nd of the season, came against Mike Remlinger. Toronto leads the AL with 96 homers, including five with the bases loaded.

Millwood, whose 2.68 ERA a year ago ranked second in the NL, had never given up more than seven runs in a game. His ERA this season climbed to 5.14.

Brian Jordan and Reggie Sanders each drove in three runs for the Braves, who outhit the Blue Jays 16-9 even though Chipper Jones wasn't in the lineup. Last year's National League MVP sprained his right ankle Tuesday and isn't sure when he'll return.

Grebeck doubled in the first and Millwood issued back-to-back walks to Delgado and Jose Cruz Jr. with two outs. Then, Alex Gonzalez hit a bases-loaded liner to center that totally fooled Andruw Jones.

Jones, a two-time Gold Glove winner, backpedaled a couple of steps, then turned and threw up his arms as if he expected the ball to hit him. Instead, it sailed over his head and to the wall while three runs came home. The Jays weren't through in the first as Alberto Castillo had a two-run double.

"I thought it was right at me," Jones said. "At the last minute, it took off over my head. It was hit so hard, what can I do?"

Jordan had an RBI double in the first and brought home two more runs with a double in the third. But Andres Galarraga was thrown out at the plate on Jordan's second hit -- running through a stop sign by third-base coach Ned Yost -- and that cost the Braves a run when Sanders followed with an RBI single.

Galarraga redeemed himself in the fourth with a two-out, run-scoring double, tying the game at 5 and knocking out Clayton Andrews, who allowed 10 hits in his first major-league start.

Adding to Andrews' embarrassment, he blooped an apparent single to right field in the fourth. But Jordan was playing so shallow that he came up throwing, beating Andrews to first by a half-step for a most unusual 9-3 putout.

Darwin Cubillan (1-0) picked up his first major league win despite allowing three runs in 2 1/3 innings. Javy Lopez homered in the fifth and Sanders added a two-run shot in the seventh to knock out the Blue Jays rookie.

But Billy Koch shut down the Braves over the final two innings for his 12th save.

"We need to bring this same kind of intensity when we play the small teams," Grebeck said. "When our pitching is on, I think we match up with anybody in the league."
