Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Lenny Dykstra said yesterday that he had accepted an offer to enter an Accelerated Rehabilitation Disposition program stemming from charges after his May auto crash.Under terms of the program, which is offered to first-time defendants who face charges such as those faced by Dykstra, he will have his license suspended for three months, serve an unspecified probation and pay a fine. He must also attend safe-driving classes.Dykstra was arraigned yesterday in suburban Delaware County (Pa.)

Even though a two-run triple and a bases-empty home run by Paul Molitor ignited the Toronto Blue Jays to a 10-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies last night, the biggest play of the game wasn't a hit, but a strikeout.It came in the first inning, when the Phillies were threatening to negate the three runs scored by the Blue Jays in the top half of the inning.Right-hander Pat Hentgen couldn't afford to let the Phillies come back with a big inning.After striking out Len Dykstra, Hentgen gave up back-to-back singles to Mariano Duncan and John Kruk.
