LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Even John Rocker had to laugh at this one.

Rocker finally allowed a run -- moments after getting mooned by a fan -- as the streaking Atlanta Braves beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 for their franchise-record 14th straight victory Monday night.

	Quilvio Veras homered in the third and scored the winning run in the eighth.

Rocker, making his second road appearance since his season-opening, two-week suspension, got his sixth save in as many opportunities. But it was his run-in with the fan with two outs in the ninth that got all the attention.

"Sorry, no," Rocker said with a smile as he rushed into the trainer's room when asked for comment after the game.

His teammates spoke volumes.

"I thought it was one of the funniest things I've seen in my life, I was laughing my butt off," third baseman Chipper Jones said. "I think we all were, I think John was, too.

"The John of old probably would have said something to the crowd, reacted. He's concentrating on his job. That's probably one of the biggest differences since he came back."

Rocker was booed loudly by the Dodger Stadium crowd of 28,790 upon entering the game. Several objects were thrown on the field, prompting a warning from the stadium announcer.

"It takes a pretty big coward to throw something at a player," said winning pitcher Kevin Millwood, who scattered five hits over seven scoreless innings.

Millwood smiled when asked his reaction to the wayward fan, saying, "I was inside, I didn't see it, I was icing. I ran out and saw the guy being dragged off."

Said Braves manager Bobby Cox: "He got mooned, let's hope that's as bad as it ever gets. I think everybody's laughing a little bit, (but) it's not good."

With Kevin Elster batting and the count 1-1, the fan bolted out of the right-field stands, ran toward the mound, stopping in short right field, turned around and dropped his shorts. The fan quickly was escorted off the field.

Elster singled to drive in Todd Hundley, the first run this year off Rocker, who had pitched eight scoreless innings. Rocker then struck out pinch-hitter Geronimo Berroa and was surrounded by security as he came off the field.

Rocker flipped the ball to a fan in a Braves cap behind Atlanta's dugout.

"It was good comic relief, but nothing shocks me anymore," Elster said. "I saw a lot of it in New York (while playing for the Mets), I'll tell you that."

The Braves, who haven't lost since April 15, broke the previous team standard of 13 consecutive wins, set in 1982 and equaled 10 years later. Three of the wins came against the Dodgers in Atlanta last week.

Millwood (3-0) walked three and struck out four before Rudy Seanez pitched a perfect eighth.

Millwood, who retired 13 of the last 15 batters he faced, allowed five hits and one unearned run in seven innings of a 5-1 victory over the Dodgers last Wednesday.

Light-hitting Quilvio Veras homered in the third, and scored what proved to be the winning run after hitting a leadoff single in the eighth.

Veras, who has two homers this year and just 26 in his 635-game career, hit a 3-1 pitch from rookie Eric Gagne (0-2) into the right-center field seats to put the Braves on top.

"There's no way in the world that Quilvio Veras should hit a home run like that," Gagne said. "That's why it hurts. This is the big leagues. You can't miss on one pitch because if will hurt you."

Gagne allowed just one run and four hits in seven innings while walking two and striking out six. He went six innings in Atlanta last Wednesday and gave up three runs -- all on solo homers.

The Braves got an unearned run off Matt Herges in the eighth when Veras scored from second on an infield hit by Andres Galarraga and third baseman Adrian Beltre's throwing error.

Herges had appeared in 10 games previously this season, pitching 15 scoreless innings.

Game notes
Dodgers slugger Gary Sheffield received a scare before the game when he stepped on a baseball that was underneath a tarpaulin near the batting cage and rolled his right ankle -- the same ankle he sprained April 8 in New York that has continued to bother him. After 40 minutes of treatment, he took about 10 swings off a batting tee and declared himself ready to play. He went 0-for-4. ... The Braves, who have a big league-leading 3.00 ERA, outscored the Dodgers 12-4 in sweeping a three-game series in Atlanta last week. The Dodgers then scored 25 runs in a weekend sweep of Florida. ... Veras has hit safely in a career-high 12 straight games. ... Current Yankees manager Joe Torre was the Braves' manager in 1982, and current manager Bobby Cox was on the job 10 years later.
