Pittsburgh beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2 on Sunday to mainlead over the Mets, tain a who beat Chicago 3 behind another Dwight Gooden victory and another Darryl Strawberry home run. "Everybody was focused in on what we had to do," said Pirates manager Jim Leyland, who was angry after Saturday's 2 loss. "(Bob) Tewksbury has pitched well against us and the guys responded well. They were prepared. They went up there in the first and were just stroking the ball, nobody was trying to do too much." Bobby Bonilla homered and drove in two runs at .Three Rivers stadium as Pittsburgh reduced its nagic number to eight with 10 i;: ys left in the season. John Smilimited St. Louis to two ley rims and five hits in 5 3 innings.

"As far as my job goes, I'm supposed to be a big lifter," Strawberry said. "If I have the opportunity to come through, than sure, a lot depends on me." Strawberry left the game in seventh inning complaining of muscle spasms in his back. "I seem to play with aches and pains no matter what happens," Strawberry said.

AMERICAN LEAGUE The Oakland Athletics need a little more time to clinch a playoff spot. But without Roger Clemens, the wait might be a lot longer for the Boston Red Sox. The American innings as the Red Sox lost for the eighth time in 10 games since the day and fell to Clemens was hurt. "We miss Roger in the rotation because you can t count on a W when he's out there," Wade Boggs said. "But he helped put us in a position to win the division and all we have to do is win a few more games." Fortunately for the Red Sox, eight of their last nine games are at Fenway Park. Toronto plays its final nine on the road, including three next weekend in Boston. The 7 at home Blue Jays finished and are 3 on the road. Boston is 7 at home.

But there's a real race in the East, although there might not be without Clemens. Toronto took a one-galead by beating Cleveland 5--4 in 10 innings while the Red Sox were losing 4 in New York. winClemens, Boston's ner, was scheduled to pitch Sunday for the first time since Sept. 4, when he was sidelined with tendinitis.

Japan appeared likely to break that streak in swimming races later today, however, after placing 2 in all four qualifying races. Taiwan, back in the Games for the first time since 1970, won its first medal Monday when Ni Chia-pin- g placed second behind China's diviXing Liwei in the sion of women's weightlifting. Xing, the world champion, lifted a total of 190 kilograms in extending China's winning streak in weightlifting to four. She fell 2.5 kilograms short of the Asian record, but her snatch lift of 85.0 kilograms broke the Asian mark of 82.5 set by China's Bi Caijuan in injuries more quickly. He was stripped of the gold medal and the world record and left Seoul in disgrace. Johnson at first denied using drugs but testified last year at a Canadian federal inquiry that he had been on a steroid program since 1981. That forced the IAAF to strip Johnson of the world-recor- d time of 9.83 seconds he ran at the World Track and Field Championships in Rome in September 1987. Johnson passed a drug test at that meet.

"Johnson's decision not to race right away is being taken in a very positive way," Franco Fava, the IAAF's chief spokesman, said. The federation said that because the ban was ending, it was reaffirming a stand first taken just after Johnson tested positive for steroids at the Seoul Olympics. "We always have said that if Lewis and Johnson race it should be in a regularly scheduled meeting," Fava said. "We first said that a long time ago. Now, we are just one day away from the 24th."

"We always said that Ben Johnson should be treated as any other athlete, no more or no less," Fava said. "No different penalty. He made a mistake, as we all do." Lewis said during the summer that no rematch with Johnson would come until the 1991 outdoor season.
