NEW YORK (AP) - The Phillies are leaving the Bronx after taking
two of three in their World Series rematch with the Yankees.
Phillies starter Kyle Kendrick kept the Yankees guessing in last
night's 7-1 win. Shane Victorino homered for Philadelphia.

NEW YORK (AP) - The Phillies have put reliever Antonio Bastardo
on the 15-day disabled list because of inflammation in his left
elbow and called up right-hander Scott Mathieson from Triple-A
Lehigh Valley. Bastardo pitched Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. He
hit two batters and walked another while getting only two outs. He
has a 5.11 ERA in 16 games this season.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pirates' losing streak now stands at 11
after their latest setback last night. The White Sox beat
Pittsburgh 5-4 with a strong outing from Mark Beuhrle, who gave up
two runs in 7-plus innings. Pirates rookie Pedro Alvarez struck out
for the third time with runners on first and third to a potential
comeback. Alvarez was 0-4 on the night.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pirates president Frank Coonelly says the team
didn't ask Aki Iwamura to undergo a physical before trading for him
last year, even though the former Rays infielder was coming off
major left knee surgery. Coonelly says it's uncommon for big league
teams to ask for such physicals. The Pirates have designated the
high-priced acquisition for assignment.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pittsburgh Pirates say they extended the
contracts of manager John Russell and general manager Neal
Huntington through the 2011 season without making a public
announcement. The Pirates were coming off a 99-loss season in 2009
and apparently felt that announcing the extensions over the winter
might further lessen enthusiasm amid already slow ticket sales.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Philadelphia 76ers have traded Samuel
Dalembert to the Sacramento Kings for Andres Nocioni and Spencer
Hawes. Dalembert never developed into a dominant force after being
drafted in the first round in 2001. The 6-foot-11 center averaged
8.1 points and 8.3 rebounds over eight seasons. He was unhappy with
his role and asked for a trade last year.

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (AP) - Philadelphia Flyers star center Danny
Briere and his 9-year-old son have escaped serious injury in a
collision with a tractor-trailer on a New York interstate. The
accident happened around 12:30 yesterday morning on Interstate 81
just north of the New York-Pennsylvania line. Police say Briere was
"a little drowsy" when he clipped the truck while trying to pass
it.
