IP Tampa Bay out when he ran past Lou Collier, who held up at first base thinking the ball would be caught. Banks was credited with a sacrifice fly, and Juan Acevedo relieved. Fernando Vina added another sacrifice fly. Jim Abbott (0-3) gave up four runs and seven hits in 5 innings. At the plate, he popped up and flied out, leaving him 0 for 5 this season.

Bonds misses another game Barry Bonds has a bone spur in his left elbow and was out of the lineup for the second straight day as the San Francisco Giants played the Florida Marlins last night. Bonds, batting .366 with four home runs and 12 RBIs, was seeking a second opinion from San Jose Sharks physician Art Ting. Results of those tests were expected today. The All-Star left fielder's status remained day-to-day. "There's no determination until wa know what's wrong," manager Dusty Baker said.

Bonds had a magnetic resonance" imaging yesterday that revealed the spur. He missed Sunday's the Arizona Diamondbacks. Stan Javier took Bonds' place iti left field, and Ellis Burks assumed' Bonds' No. 3 spot in the order. Bonds, an eight-time All-Star, has-been on the disabled list just once in his 14-year career.

There had been speculation have been injured during day's brawl with the Diamondbacks, during which Giants third baseman, Charlie Hayes and Arizona pitcher Todd Stottlemyre got into a bench clearing melee. "Let me clear that up right now' Barry told me it was bothering on Friday during batting practice," Baker said. "That wasn't it at all, that's 20 years of throwing." Associated Press Struggling rookie J.D. Drew hit his first homer of the season and drove in three runs, leading Kent Botten-field and the St. Louis Cardinals over the Milwaukee Brewers 6-2 last night.

Drew, who began the night batting just .176, also tripled, singled and scored three times. The Cardinals won for the fifth time in six games. Bottenfield (3-0) pitched seven scoreless innings and allowed only three hits, giving him an 0.98 ERA. He struck out four and walked three. After Ricky Bottalico pitched a scoreless eighth for St.

Louis, an odd play helped the Brewers score twice in the ninth. Milwaukee loaded the bases with no outs against Mike Mohler, and pinch-hitter Brian Banks hit a fly ball to center field that Drew dropped for an error.

Brandon Cromer has just two hits this season, but he's made them count. His second hit a two-run home run came yesterday as the Louisville RiverBats smacked four homers and defeated Richmond 5-3 in an International League baseball game. Cromer's homer in the eighth inning gave the RiverBats a 5-2 lead. Then in the bottom of the inning, he snuffed out a Richmond rally with an unassisted double play on Toby Rum-field's line drive. Cromer's other hit was a grand slam earlier this season at home against Columbus.

Louisville's Kevin Barker had solo homers in the second and fourth, and Luis Ortiz added a solo shot in the fourth. The back-to-back shots in the fourth broke a 1-1 tie. Fot the Braves, Gabe Whatley and Howafd Battle had solo homers. Battle knocked in the final run with an eighth4nning single. Rod Henderson (1-0), who won 11 games last season as Louisville's ace, allowed four hits and two runs in six innings.

Reggie Harris struck out two in the ninth for his first save. Ruben Quevedo (0-2) allowed five hits and three runs in five innings. Louisville, which returns home tonight to start a three-game series against Norfolk at 7:15, went 3-3 on the road trip. Falteisek called up Right-handed reliever Steve Falteisek was called up by the parent Milwaukee Brewers to replace Bill who was placed on the disabled list retroactive to Saturday with a lower back strain. Falteisek was 1-1 with a 2.89 ERA in five relief appearances.

Pulsipher was 1-1 with a 6.75 ERA in two starts. i I' RiverBats 5, Braves 3 Louisville ab bi Richmond ab bi 000 021 002-5 7 0 Tampa Bay Boston 010 000 0O0-1 1 E-JWValentin (3). LOB-Tampa Bay 6, Boston 6. 28 Offerman (8). Garciaparra (1).

Wohlers to stay with Reds for now Recently acquired reliever Mark Wohlers will work out with Cincinnati for a while rather than going to the minor leagues to try to solve his control troubles.

Wohlers went on the 15-day DL after the Reds got him from Atlanta Friday in a trade. The original plan was to have him report to Triple-A Indianapolis yesterday. But the Reds changed that after Wohlers threw very well in a workout Sunday. Wohlers will report to Indianapolis at some point, but there is no timetable.

O'Donnell, 32, was released nine months after the Bengals signed him From C-J and Wire Dispatches Imagine quarterbacks from the state of Kentucky being the No. 1 pick in the National Football League draft in successive years. You can't? ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. can. University of Kentucky quarterback Tim Couch was the first pick this year, and on Sunday Kiper named Louisville quarterback Chris Redman as the top QB in next year's draft.

He listed Redman as the third-best senior, behind Florida State receiver Peter Warrick and Arizona State running back J.R. Redmond.

"He looks past the numbers and goes by how hard the guy plays. That helps me because my numbers are sorry." Indiana fullback Chris Gall signed with the Indianapolis Colts.
