ATLANTA --- A brief, benches-clearing skirmish and only the second cycle in Atlanta history couldn't stop the Chicago Cubs from completing their first season sweep of the Braves.

Aramis Ramirez and Alfonso Soriano hit homers, and the Cubs beat Atlanta 11-7 on Thursday night, giving Chicago a sweep of the six-game series for the first time since the rivalry between the franchises began in 1876.

Mark Kotsay went 5-for-5 and joined Albert Hall as the only Atlanta players to single, double, triple and homer in the same game.

Four other Braves hit for the cycle in Milwaukee before the franchise moved to Atlanta.

Kotsay drove in a run with a second-inning triple, homered off Chicago starter Ted Lilly in the fourth, and added singles in the sixth off Lilly and the ninth off Kerry Wood. Kotsay's seventh-inning double off reliever Bob Howry was his 1,500th career hit.

The Cubs outscored the Braves 29-9 in the series and have won eight in a row on the road.

The Cubs spoiled the return of Braves lefty Tom Glavine (2-4) from a torn flexor tendon in his left elbow. He gave up seven hits and seven runs in four innings in his first start since June 10.

Lilly hit Braves shortstop Yunel Escobar with a pitch in the sixth inning to start a brief altercation. Escobar had to be restrained by plate umpire C.B. Bucknor. The benches and bullpens emptied, but there were no punches and no ejections.
