PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) _ Edgardo Alfonzo homered and the New York Mets scored five runs off Graeme Lloyd in the sixth inning of a 9-0 win Wednesday.

Lloyd, who missed last season with a left shoulder injury, gave up five hits and threw two wild pitches in the sixth, putting Montreal in an 8-0 hole.

Rey Ordonez reached on an error to start the rally and advanced on Edgar Alfonzo's single to center. Darren Bragg drove in the first run with a single, Jorge Toca followed with a two-run double and Brian Cole drove in another run with an infield single. A wild pitch made it 8-0.

The Mets scored twice in the first inning off Expos starter Javier Vazquez on back-to-back doubles by Jay Payton and Alex Escobar. Alfonzo increased the lead to 3-0 with a solo homer in the third inning.

Notes: Mets GM Steve Phillips said there has been no movement with the Dodgers concerning Gary Sheffield trade talks. ``I don't think we'll make a deal,'' he said. ... The Mets signed OF Tony Tarasco to a minor league contract. Tarasco played with the Hanshin Tigers of the Japan Central League last season. Tarasco has played in 397 major league games since 1993 with the Atlanta Braves, Montreal Expos, Baltimore Orioles, Cincinnati Reds and New York Yankees. He is a lifetime .238 hitter. ... The Mets reassigned RHPs Manny Barrios and Nerio Rodriguez to minor league camp. Neither made an appearance in a spring training game. ... Mets RHP Grant Roberts completed an MRI on his back, which has been bothered by spasms, and there didn't appear to be anything to cause concern, he said. Roberts will likely will pitch Monday. ... Lenny Harris pulled a quadriceps muscle in a leg running to first base.
