ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - In the first regular season meeting
between the teams since last year's World Series, the Philadelphia
Phillies routed the Tampa Bay Rays 10-1. Chase Utley homered and
drove in four runs last night. Jamie Moyer pitched six strong
innings and John Mayberry hit a three-run homer for the Phillies.
The two teams play again tonight.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Phillies slugger Ryan Howard has
rejoined the team in Tampa Bay after being hospitalized over the
weekend with acute sinusitis. Howard missed Sunday's 2-1 loss to
Baltimore, ending his consecutive games streak at 343. It was the
longest active streak in the majors.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Cleveland Indians halted a six-game losing
streak, dodging yet another ninth-inning bullpen collapse to beat
the slumping Pittsburgh Pirates 5-4 last night. Adam LaRoche, who
homered to start the inning, flew out to right field on a 3-2 pitch
by Kerry Wood to end the game. The second game of the series is in
Pittsburgh tonight.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Philadelphia 76ers have changed their
logo and colors to revive the traditional "76ers basketball" logo
and the red, white and blue color scheme. The new logo includes a
rectangular court-shaped enclosure around the ball with
"PHILADELPHIA" along the bottom and silver shaping the perimeter.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Fernando Bryant, a cornerback and former
first-round draft pick who played 10 NFL seasons with the
Pittsburgh Steelers and other teams is retiring. Bryant started 109
of the 112 NFL games he played, making seven interceptions and
recovering nine fumbles.
