For the Dodgers, there was the three-run eighth in which Chad Fonville's double cashed in a Gary DiSarcina Eichhorn played for four different ballclubs during his career: the Toronto Blue Jays (1982, 1986-1988, 1992-1993), Atlanta Braves (1989), California made it 6-4. And there was pre-game drama, when manager Tom Lasorda closed the clubhouse doors and told his players how the roster would be cut to 25 for Monday's season opener. The Dodgers produced airline tickets and doctor's notes for 10 players: They optioned reliever Antonio Osuna Antonio Pedro Osuna (born April 12, 1973 in Sinaloa, Mexico) is a former major league relief pitcher.

Osuna was a victim of his 5.68 spring ERA and Hall's arrival from Toronto. This means career starter Chan Ho Park will open the season in the bullpen. arrowThey optioned infielders Mike Busch and Garey Ingram to Triple A as well. Busch, the 1995 replacement-player cause celebre, became expendable when first baseman Eric Karros' shoulder healed and Billy Ashley slipped into the right-handed power pinch-hitter role. They placed reliever Scott Radinsky on the 15-day disabled list, creating room for fellow left-hander Joey Eischen, who is out of options. Radinsky, a Simi Valley High product, faced hitters in batting practice Saturday, said the tendinitis in his left middle finger had cleared up, but thought he is ``just behind.'' Assigned to Albuquerque four players who were in camp but not on the Dodgers' roster: Prince, pitcher Mike Harkey and outfielders Rick Parker and Williams. Carlos Hernandez will back up Piazza behind the plate. Roger Cedeno could share left field with fellow rookie Todd Hollandsworth and Ashley. Assigned left-hander Narciso Elvira's contract to Monterrey of the Mexican League. The moves leave the Dodgers with three left-handed relievers - Eischen, John Cummings and Mark Guthrie - barring a trade. Executive vice president Fred Claire joked that this is the first spring that he has fielded more phone calls seeking left-handers than he's placed.

Antithesis of in touch with. the fifth-starter job, Astacio's 4-2/3-inning, eight-hit, four-run outing Saturday could have come at a bad time. But Lasorda said he still planned to start Astacio in the season's fifth game Friday in Chicago. Astacio, winless in five spring starts, served up Salmon's seventh homer, which flew halfway up the left-field bleachers leading off the second inning. That wiped out a 1-0 lead the Dodgers took on singles by Delino DeShields and Brett Butler and a fly ball by Piazza against Angels starter Shawn Boskie.

Again, though, the Angels came back, overcoming DiSarcina's sloppy baserunning to go up 4-3 on three singles and J.T. Snow's double off the 395 sign in the fifth. That drove Astacio from the game. DiSarcina was out after rounding second on Jim Edmonds' single and being chased to third - where Rex Hudler stood. Two innings earlier, Hudler was called out trying to steal home with the left-handed Snow at the plate. Edmonds' single gave him a 21-game spring hitting streak.
