PITTSBURGH (AP) — Rashard Mendenhall of the Pittsburgh Steelers surpassed his previous career total with 165 yards rushing and two scores as the Steelers opened a 28-point lead, then held on to beat the San Diego Chargers 38-28 last night. The Chargers made an apparent blowout close as Philip Rivers threw touchdown passes of 30 yards to Antonio Gates and 13 yards to Chris Chambers in the fourth quarter.


PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Paul Hoover hit a game-ending RBI single in the 10th inning as the Philadelphia Phillies prepared for their title defense with a 7-6 victory over the Florida Marlins yesterday. The Phillies will open the best-of-five division series at home Wednesday against Colorado. Cole Hamels or Cliff Lee likely will get the Game 1 start.


CINCINNATI (AP) — Brandon Phillips, the last man standing in Cincinnati's season of unending injuries, drove in three runs and Homer Bailey shut out Pittsburgh for six innings yesterday, setting up a 6-0 victory as the NL Central's two more forlorn franchises ended the season together. The Pirates finished their 17th straight losing season, while the Reds ended their ninth in a row.


RENO, Nev. (AP) — A former Harrah's employee at Lake Tahoe claims he was fired in July 2008 because Ben Roethlisberger complained that the worker had demanded to see identification for a young-looking woman at the quarterback's table in Harrah's restaurant where they were drinking. Alvaro Brito leveled the allegations in a lawsuit filed against Harrah's and its Lake Tahoe president.
