LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Darren Dreifort, ready to begin the first season of his five-year, $55 million contract, ran his spring record to 5-0 as Los Angeles beat Colorado 5-2 on Friday night.

Los Angeles' Gary Sheffield, playing at Dodger Stadium for the first time since making trade requests and criticizing teammates early in spring training, was booed by most of the crowd of 30,369 when the lineups were announced, all three times he came to bat, and after both of his hits.

Angel Pena made Dreifort the pitcher of record when he batted for him in the sixth and snapped a 2-2 tie with an infield RBI single, following a leadoff walk to Paul LoDuca and a hit-and-run single by Alex Cora off losing pitcher Pedro Astacio.

Greg Olson got his first save of the spring, pitching one inning and allowing two hits.

Dreifort pitched six innings for the Dodgers in his final spring tuneup, allowing two runs on 11 hits and raising his ERA to 2.67. The right-hander scattered eight hits over five scoreless innings before giving up a game-tying two-run homer to Greg Norton in the sixth.

Dreifort, who was courted by the Rockies in the offseason before re-signing with Los Angeles on Dec. 11, will make his season debut Wednesday at Dodger Stadium against Arizona's Curt Schilling.

Astacio was charged with three runs, two earned, and eight hits over six innings. The right-hander was 3-1 this spring with a 4.15 ERA, and will make his season debut next Thursday against St. Louis at Coors Field.

The Dodgers scored their first two runs on a first-inning wild pitch and a third-inning sacrifice fly by Eric Karros, then added two more in the eighth against Jose Jimenez.

Notes: Because of Adrian Beltre's injury, Chris Donnels will become the 11th player to start a season opener at third base for the Dodgers since Ron Cey ended his nine-year streak in 1982. They had 13 different opening day third baseman between 1958 _ their first season in Los Angeles _ and the start of Cey's streak in 1974. ... Colorado claimed LHP Horacio Estrada off waivers from Florida, just three days after the Marlins claimed him off waivers from Milwaukee. The Rockies also obtained RHP Craig Dingman from the Yankees for a player to be named later.
