PITTSBURGH (AP) - Adrian Gonzalez homered to help the San Diego
Padres earn a 6-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, who traded two
of their best players shortly after the game started. The Pirates

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed their first-round draft pick, running back Rashard Mendenhall, to a five-year contract. Mendenhall's signing means only the team's second-round pick Limas Sweed has yet to sign with the team. Sweed
is a rangy wide-receiver out of Texas.

UNDATED (AP) - Joba (JAH'-bah) Chamberlain dominated the Boston
Red Sox with his best major-league start and the surging New York
Yankees moved two games behind their longtime rivals with a 1-0
victory to improve to 7-and-0 since the All-Star break. Coupled
with Tampa Bay's 5-3 win over Kansas City, that means the Rays have
a one-game lead over the Red Sox in the AL East, with the Yankees
three back.

BOURBONNAIS, Ill. (AP) - Devin Hester showed up at the Chicago Bears' training camp without a new contract but whether the kick-return star will practice without one remains to be seen. Bears coach Lovie Smith says he held Hester out of yesterday's

HERNDON, Va. (AP) - A company in Virginia says it's come up with a urine test that can detect human growth hormone. One anti-doping expert says a test that can find HGH in urine "could be a quantum leap forward" in the fight against drug use in sports.
