Ramirez homers, but Dodgers lose

SAN DIEGO - Manny Ramirez needed only five plate appearances before hitting his first post-drug-suspension home run.

It wasn't enough to help Los Angeles overcome 22-year-old rookie Everth Cabrera's three RBIs and brilliant defense as the San Diego Padres beat the Dodgers, 7-4, yesterday.

Ramirez homered in his second game back from his 50-game suspension for violating baseball's drug policy. It was his seventh homer of the season and 534th of his career, tying Jimmie Foxx for 16th on the all-time list. Up next is Mickey Mantle with 536.

Ramirez dodged reporters afterward, leaving the clubhouse through a side door.

"I think this is his comfort zone, in that batter's box, in the ballpark, in the clubhouse, something that he hasn't had for a couple of months," manager Joe Torre said. "I think it's going to take a little time, but I think it's just him getting the rust off and getting used to what he's doing."

With two outs in the first, San Diego's Josh Geer got ahead of Ramirez 0-2 before throwing an outside pitch for ball one. The right-hander then served up a 79-m.p.h. change-up that Ramirez drove an estimated 369 feet into the seats.

"I think this is the best medicine for him after having to go through what he went through," Torre said. "Again, it's not that you're feeling sorry for him because he obviously was suspended for a reason, and we're past that."

Nationals 5, Braves 3

WASHINGTON - A mammoth milestone home run by Adam Dunn was upstaged by his simple single that helped Washington rally to beat Atlanta.

Atlanta's Tommy Hanson extended his scoreless innings streak to 26 before Dunn's 300th career homer and the Nationals rallied for four eighth-inning runs.

"That 300th home run would have been hard to talk about. It would have been a useless home run if we hadn't won the game," said Dunn.

SAN FRANCISCO - Tim Lincecum ran his career-best scoreless innings streak to 23 in winning his third straight start and also scored the first run in San Francisco's victory over Houston.

Lincecum (9-2), expected to be named an all-star today for the second straight year, outpitched former Giant Russ Ortiz (3-4).

Lincecum struck out Michael Bourn looking on his third pitch of the game. After Lance Berkman doubled to start the fourth, Lincecum struck out the side.
