On Wednesday, Lofton scored two runs, drove in a run and had a stolen base. "I'm just trying to get on base and make things happen," said Lofton, who went 9-for-14 in the three-game sweep of the Reds. The Braves prevailed again even though Greg Maddux missed his scheduled start with a strained hamstring and Chipper Jones was limited to pinch-hitting because of a strained groin muscle. Jeff Blauser, hitting .429, went 2-for-2 with a homer and two runs-batted-in.

The Braves are batting .306 as a team. "We're on a roll right now," Tom Glavine said. "We want to keep it going. We almost hate to have an off-day (today)." Atlanta, which had an National League-low of 83 stolen bases last season, is running wild with Lofton and another newcomer, Michael Tucker, at the top of the order. Tucker also had a stolen base, giving the Braves 16 this season, and the other players seem to be following their lead.

Terrell Wade, filling in for Maddux, made his first start of the season and allowed only three hits and an unearned run in 4V5 innings. Paul Byrd (1-0), Mike Bielecki and Mark Wohlers held the Reds hitless over the final 434 innings. DODGERS 5, METS 2 Credit the New York Mets' mouths for breaking up Pedro Astacio's no-hit bid. "When I went to the mound in the eighth inning, some of the Mets started hollering from the dugout on how they were going to break it up," Astacio said. "It was a distraction, and I guess I lost my concentration." Carlos Baerga doubled down the right-field line leading off the eighth inning for New York's first hit of the game.

Darren Dreifort, Mark Guthrie and Todd Worrell then finished off the one-hitter for the visiting Dodgers. Brett Butler, coming back from surgery last May to remove cancerous tonsils, matched his career high with five hits. It was Butler's fifth five-hit game and his previous one also was against the Mets, on April 20, 1994. Rookie Wilton Guerrero and Eric Karros each hit two-run homers. New York went l-for-26 at the plate, dropping its team batting average to .211.

Johnson lb4 0 1 1 TODAY'S PITCHING MATCHUPS Red Sox who wear the number Robinson in tribute to Jackie may con- pjyneer tinue to wear the number for the remainder of their careers," acting commissioner Bud Selig said, flanked by President Clinton and Rachel Robinson.

"However, No. 42, from this day forward, will never again be issued by a major league club. No. 42 belongs to Jackie Robinson for the ages," he said. Baseball celebrated the 50th anniversary by holding up the game between the host New York Mets and Los Angeles for a 35-minute tribute after the fifth inning.

Robinson's number was retired by the Dodgers on June 4, 1972, but the number had not been retired by any other team. As of Tuesday night, 12 major league players wore 42: Vaughn, Huskey, Dennis Cook of Florida, Tom Goodwin of Kansas City, Scott Karl of Milwaukee, Mike Jackson of Cleveland, Jose Lima of Houston, Mariano Rivera of the New York Yankees, Kirk Rueter of San Francisco, Jason Schmidt of Pittsburgh, Lenny Webster of Baltimore and Marc Sagmoen of Texas. Sagmoen made his major-league debut Tuesday night, and was randomly assigned No. 42 by the Rangers. After a 5-2 victory over Chicago, Sagmoen said he would switch to No.

37 because he did not feel "worthy" of wearing 42. Meanwhile, the city of Sanford, wants to apologize to the Robinson family after city officials forced him out of an exhibition game there 50 years ago to keep him from playing on the same field with white players.
