Pinch-hitter METS 2 Chris Jones PIRATES 1 homered leading mhmbhhm off the ninth inning as the Mets snapped a six-game losing streak. "If I'm VuviltVm I wont tUa Koll said Saberhagen, who had missed three starts because of a bruised right rib cage. "I'm tired of all the trade talk," Saberhagen said. "My desire is to stay here. The front office keeps saying We're rebuilding but I've been listen-t ing to that for four years.

How long can you go on like that? "I like Qason Isringhausen) and (Bill Pulsipher). It's a pleasure to watch them pitch. We need more young players like that. "Will I still be here by the time they both develop. I doubt it." Mets' manager Dallas Green praised Saberhagen.

"He had a great fastball and his changeup came back," Green said. "I was snrnrispH that- hp wpnt that Inner It was a typical Saberhagen game when he's on. He shut a club down that has a lot of heart, It was good to have him back." Saberhagen lost a chance for the de-, cision when reliever John Franco, who lost Friday night's game, allowed the Pirates to tie the came 1-1 on Nelson Liriano's RBI double over center fielder Brett Butler's head. "I thoueht Butler was uoine to catch that ball all the wav." Green said." "Maybe he got a bad jump but that was definitely a catchable ball." Pirates' manager Jim Leyland was also impressed by Saberhagen. "Saberhagen didn't look like he missed said.

Pirates' starter Denny Neagle was also excellent, pitching seven scoreless innings. Carl Everett, hitting just .183 entering the game, gave the Mets a 1-0 lead in the eighth with an RBI single off rookie reliever Jason Christensen. But Franco gave up a single to pinch-hitter Steve Pegues in the ninth, and after two were out, Liriano doubled over Butler's head to score Pegues.

Jones homered off Ross Powell (0-1), who took the loss on only the third pitch he threw for the Pirates after being acquired Friday from the Houston Astros organization. "I just wanted to throw strikes," Powell said. "Unfortunately, I left a ball up in the zone." Chris Jones' pinch hit homer was his third of the season and fourth of his career. The last Met to have three pinch-hjt homers in a season was Daryl Boston in 1992, Mark Carreon (1989), and Danny Heep (1983) share New York Mets, who were in last place Friday night when they traded Bonilla to the Orioles in exchange for minor league outfielders Alex Ochoa and Damon Buford. Bonilla packed his bags and was on an early flight to Baltimore, eager to join his new teammates.

He took his place in the lineup at the cleanup position between Rafael Palmeiro and Cal Ripken. "What more can you ask for? I'm in a big league uniform and I'm able to play with Ripken and Palmeiro," Bonilla said. "It's going to be fun to come with the park and lace up, knowing that every game means something." It wasn't that way during his three-plus years with the Mets, a team that was often ridiculed by David Letter-man and usually found itself out of contention by the middle of June. Bonilla's .325 batting average, 18 homers and 53 RBI this season were wasted on a team that was 20 games under .500 when he left. "I was able to accomplish a lot of things there.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to win in New York," he said. "It's a wonderful place to play you just have to deal with all the secondary stuff." Such as the New York tabloids. "When I got there, I told them they center that Becker again appeared to lose. Cordova raced over from left to make a running catch. Polonia, the Yankees left fielder, also lost a ball in the roof.

Williams had to run all the way from center to make the catch on Chip Hale's fly in the sixth. The Yankees made it 4-2 in the seventh on Polonia's sacrifice fly.

Damon Buford, obtained from Baltimore along with Alex Ochoa for Bobby Bonilla, singled in the seventh inning after grounding out and hitting into a double play. Brett Butler was caught stealing for only the fifth time in 24 attempts this season. '69 Mets win again More than 25 years after taking the World Series, the 1969 Mets have won again. This time, the team won an injunction against a clothing company that sold a T-shirt emblazoned with pictures of the players without their permission. A Manhattan State Supreme Court judge ruled in the Mets' favor on Thursday, saying the sale of clothing bearing a team photograph without the individual players' permission violates their rights under the state's civil rights laws.

The injunction only bars T-shirt sales in New York State, since the case was brought under New York law. The court did not determine damages. lofty dreams couldn't knock the smile off my face. They pretty much took it literally," Bonilla said. "It took me a year to adjust to New York." Bird moves The Orioles optioned outfielder Mark Smith to Triple-A Rochester to make room for Bobby Bonilla on the 25-man roster.

The Orioles also sent reliever Joe Borowski to Rochester and brought up left-hander Rick Krivda, who made his second major-league start last night against the Chicago White Sox. Smith, who made his major-league debut last season, started twice for the Orioles since being recalled from Rochester on July 18. He went 2-for-7 with a double, his first extra-base hit in the majors. Borowski was recalled from Rochester on Tuesday, his second stint with the Orioles this season. The right-hander pitched one inning during his first stay with Baltimore but did not see action the second time around.

Krivda, 25, allowed two runs and seven hits in 5 2-3 innings against Chicago on July 7. With the exception of that appearance, he had spent the entire season with Rochester, where he was 6-5 in 16 starts with a 3.19 ERA. cord might be the worst in the majors, but they have done well against the AL East this month. Minnesota has played its last 24 games against East teams, winning 12. The Twins are 4-1 against Baltimore, 4-3 agaist first-place Boston, 3-3 against the Yankees and 1-4 against last-place Toronto.

Wade Boggs, a career .361 hitter agaisnt the Twins, went 1 for 4 and is hitting .396 in his last 16 games. Along with his struggles in the outfield, Becker was 0 for 4 and is hitless in his last 16 at-bats.

Bonilla arrived at Camden Yards early yesterday afternoon, hours before he made his debut with the Baltimore Orioles in a loss to the Chicago White Sox. The 32-year-old slugger promptly met with general manager Roland Hemond, who laid down the rules dictated by owner Peter Ange-los.

"I can wear earrings anytime after, the game, but he said the big guy doesn't like them on the field," Bonilla said. "I said all right, you got it, no problem." A small price to pay, he acknowledged, for the chance to get into the World Series. "Individual accolades, I'm past that right now," Bonilla, a six-time All-Star, said. "I just want to be a part of a collective effort to reach the pinnacle of our sport. Not just to get to the World Series, but to win it.

Everything you think about as a kid comes true to life then."
