ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - The Philadelphia 76ers are in the same
position as they were a year ago. They took a 2-1 series lead on
Detroit before losing in six games. Two of the final three games -
if necessary - are in Orlando. With the series knotted at two games
each, Game 5 is tonight in Orlando.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Ryan Howard and Raul Ibanez each hit a grand
slam, rallying the Philadelphia Phillies to a wild 13-11 victory
over the Washington Nationals last night. It's Philadelphia's fifth
straight win. The two teams are back at it tonight.

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Rickie Weeks broke open a tie game in the
eighth inning with a run-scoring fielder's choice, lifting the
Milwaukee Brewers to a 10-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates last
night. The series resumes tonight with the second of three games to
be played.


UNDATED (AP) - Suspended Phillies reliever J.C. Romero has filed
suit against a nutritional supplement manufacturer alleging an
unlisted ingredient in one of its products caused him to test
positive for a substance banned by Major League Baseball. Romero is
suspended for the first 50 games of the 2009 season.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Daryll Clark has come full-circle in
just a season. Last spring, he was competing against Pat Devlin for
the Nittany Lions' starting quarterback job. One year and a Big Ten
title later, he's the unquestioned leader of the Penn State
offense.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Organizers of the TD Bank Philadelphia
Cycling Championship are waiting an extra day before deciding the
fate of the financially troubled race. Event co-founder Dave
Chauner says his group has been able to raise only $100,000 of the
$500,000 needed to close a budget gap.
