Los Angeles ? Gary Sheffield never lost a fly ball in the sun at Dodger Stadium while playing left field for Los Angeles.

Now that he’s back in right field with Atlanta Braves, Sheffield learned an important lesson Saturday about playing that position during the daytime at Chavez Ravine: bring sunglasses.

The six-time All-Star lost track of Cesar Izturis’ fly ball and it fell for a double, keying a seventh-inning rally that helped the Dodgers beat the Braves 4-3 Saturday .

“It can be tough,” said Shawn Green, the Dodgers’ right fielder. “I’ve been fortunate that I haven’t gotten too many balls right in the heart of the sun. There’s not much you can do when it goes in there..”

The Braves led 3-2 when Izturis led off with his towering fly. Sheffield, serenaded with boos by the sellout crowd of 54,212 in his second game at Dodger Stadium since being traded to Atlanta in the offseason, couldn’t locate the ball in the cloudless sky until it fell 10 feet from him.

“I realized I was in trouble when it should have been coming down, but I never saw it,” Sheffield said after the NL East-leading Braves lost three straight for the first time since mid-July.

Jolbert Cabrera bunted Izturis to third. After a walk to Mark Grudzielanek, Marquis Grissom singled off Tom Glavine (16-7), tying it at 3. Paul Lo Duca then hit a sacrifice fly for the go-ahead run.

Reds 5, Astros 3 (11)

Houston Adam Dunn, in 3-for-41 slump, hit a two-run homer off Tom Gordon in the 11th inning as Cincinnati beat Houston to end a five-game losing streak.

Austin Kearns, who had a three-run homer in the first inning, singled with two outs in the 11th against Gordon (1-2), making his second appearance since he was acquired Thursday for the Chicago Cubs. Dunn followed with his first home run since Aug. 8 at Colorado.

Cubs 4, Diamondbacks 0

Phoenix Matt Clement pitched a three-hitter and Mark Bellhorn hit his 21st home run as Chicago defeated Arizona.

The Cubs handed the NL West leaders their second loss in 14 games.

Clement (10-9) threw his second career shutout, both of them this year. Fourth in the NL this season in strikeouts, he fanned five and walked five.

Brian Anderson (6-9) worked 6 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on nine hits.

Expos 7, Giants 2

San Francisco Bartolo Colon allowed two runs in six innings and Montreal beat San Francisco for the second straight day.

Colon (7-2), who gave up five hits, stretched his streak of shutout innings to 18 before allowing two runs in the sixth. He is 14-3 since May 4, including his time in the AL before Cleveland traded him.

Pirates 17, Brewers 10

Milwaukee Craig Wilson drove in four runs and Kip Wells became Pittsburgh’s first 12-game winner in three years .

Pittsburgh had season highs with nine doubles and 16 hits. Jason Kendall and Brian Giles each had three RBIs. It was the Pirates highest scoring game since also scoring 17 against Montreal on May 15, 1999.

Mets 5, Rockies 2

Denver Timo Perez hit a two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning as New York snapped a 12-game losing streak.

Phillies 4, Cardinals 0

St. Louis Vicente Padilla pitched eight scoreless innings and Bobby Abreu and Pat Burrell each homered. Padilla (13-8) retired 10 straight Cardinals before a one-out single by Mike Matheny in the fifth. He allowed four hits overall and didn’t walk a batter. Jose Mesa got his 34th save.

Marlins 8, Padres 4

San Diego Derrek Lee hit a three-run homer and Kevin Millar drove in two runs.

The Marlins bounced back from Friday night’s 18-2 loss to San Diego, their worst loss since Oct. 5, 2001.
