NATIONAL LEAGUE Lopez, Braves overpower Expos

The Atlanta catcher hit a bases-loaded triple.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MONTREAL -- Javy Lopez's bases-loaded triple keyed a five-run first inning and Andruw Jones had four hits and three RBIs Saturday as the Atlanta Braves routed the Montreal Expos, 15-4. Gary Sheffield had three hits -- including his 25th homer -- and three RBIs for Atlanta, which tied a season-high with 18 hits.
Lopez, who also singled, is 18-for-34 (.529) with 18 RBIs over the course of a nine-game hitting streak.
Making his first start in Montreal since he joined Atlanta, Shane Reynolds (8-5) got plenty of offensive support on the way to his third win in four starts.
