Richie Sexson homered twice and drove in five runs to help Coppinger win for the first time in nearly two years as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 12-5 Monday night. Coppinger (1-0), who missed all of last season recovering from elbow surgery, allowed three runs and five hits in five innings for his first victory since Oct. 1, 1999, against Cincinnati.

"I'm excited right now," he said. "I'm going to live in the moment right now, wake up tomorrow and see what happens." Five years BREWERS12, PIRATES5 ago, Coppinger finished fourth in the AL rookie-of-the-year balloting and started a playoff game for the Baltimore Orioles. Since then, he's had two surgeries and been traded to Milwaukee. He started this season at Double-A as a reliever, moved up to Triple-A by late June and was starting there by late July. He was called up Aug.

20 to help an injury-ravaged Brewers pitching staff. "For his first performance in a while starting in the big leagues, it was a good performance," Milwaukee manager Davey Lopes said.

Bonds hits No. 56 in Giants' victory er to start for Milwaukee this year threw 87 pitches. He struck out four and reported no prdblems with his surgically repaired arm. Coppinger had not started a major-league game since May 1, 1999, for the Orioles. "I felt stronger toward the end," he said.

"I felt like I had a little more pop on my fastball." Coppinger got plenty of help from the Milwaukee offense. 1988, from competing this year. "If this is the same Danny Almonte who played for Rolando Paulino Little League, then we have been deceived, and a fraud has been perpetrated on Little League and the millions of youngsters for whom Little League is so important," Little League Inc. president Stephen Keener said. In a statement released Monday, Little League officials said they contacted the Rolando Paulino league in the Bronx, N.Y., which insisted all of its players were eligible and promised to provide further documentation.

Rick McCabe, a Sports Illustrated spokesman, said the magazine was "working on a Little League story" but would not comment further until the story was ready for publication. An official with the Rolando Paulino league questioned the new document. If Almonte was found to be ineligible, the Bronx team could be forced to forfeit its last win, the consolation game against Curacao, Netherlands Antilles. Little League could even revoke the Rolando Paulino league's charter. The free-swinging Brewers took control with a five-run fourth inning, started by an unlikely hit.

Pittsburgh employed a defensive shift against the left-handed hitting Burnitz, moving third baseman Aramis Ramirez just to the third-base side of second and putting all the other infielders on the right side on the diamond. Burnitz checked his swing and poked a grounder toward shortstop, and Ramirez had no play. Sexson followed with a two-run homer to right that tied it at 3-3. Coppinger drove in a run with a bases-loaded grounder when Ramirez couldn't get the ball out of his glove to throw home, and Mark Loretta added a two-run single off reliever Bronson Arroyo for a 6-3 lead. "All of a sudden the wheels fell off and I couldn't get anybody out," Beimel said.

Sexson hit his career-high 32nd homer in the sixth, a three-run shot to center. "Thirty-two homers, I'm happy about it, but it hasn't been the year I was looking for," Sexson said. "It's been kind of a down year for me. It's a whole lot better winning games." Pittsburgh took a 1-0 lead in the first on Brian Giles' run-scoring single, and Jack Wilson made it 2-0 with a run-scoring single in the third. Henry Blanco's run-scoring double cut it to 2-1 in the third, but Ramirez hit a solo shot for his 28th home run in the fourth.

Craig Wilson added a solo shot in the ninth for Pittsburgh.

Little League is investigating pitcher Danny Almonte after being shown a document that indicated the ace from the Bronx might be older than allowed. The Rolando Paulino Little League insists Almonte is 12 years old, born April 7, 1989, in Moca, Dominican Republic. But Little League World Series officials were shown an affidavit Monday by a Sports Illustrated writer that indicated a Danny Almonte was born April 7, 1987, in the town, said league spokesman Lance Van Auken.

Documents previously submitted to Little League by the Rolando Paulino team to prove Almonte's eligibility showed him being born to the same parents in the same town, but in 1989. Van Auken said that Little League also was faxed another document on Monday afternoon that was similar to the one obtained by Sports Illustrated but showing Almonte being born in 1989. Little League rules prohibit any player born before Aug. 1, Brewers 12, Pirates The Associated Press Barry Bonds put away his earring, not his power stroke. Bonds hit his major-league-leading 56th home run Monday, becoming the fastest player to ever reach the mark as the San Francisco Giants beat the New York Mets 6-5 at New York.

J.T. Snow hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning as San Francisco averted a four-game sweep at Shea Stadium and moved a half-game ahead of idle Chicago in the wild-card race. "J.T. won the game for us," Bonds said. "Every game is important for us right now." Bonds also doubled, singled and walked.

Needing a triple for the cycle he hit one Sunday night he grounded out in the ninth. Rick White (3-5) retired Bonds and Jeff Kent on grounders to start the ninth. But John Vander Wal singled and Snow hit his seventh homer of the season and second of the series for a 6-4 lead. "It was big," Snow said. "They're not playing for a lot right now."
