    Justin Upton put on quite a show in his return to Phoenix.

    Upton snapped a 14-game homerless drought and had four hits to help the Braves snap a three-game losing streak.

    "It was the Justin show," Braves third baseman Chris Johnson said with a smile.

    Upton, the first overall pick by Arizona in the 2005 amateur draft, was playing his first game at Chase Field since the offseason trade that sent him and Johnson to Atlanta in a seven-player deal.

    Upton received a mixed reaction throughout the night, with the cheers barely outweighing the boos when he stepped in or took the field for the first time.
