PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Houston's Brett Myers threw seven sharp
innings in a 3-2 win over his former Phillies teammates last night.
Carlos Lee hit a go-ahead two-run single in the eighth for the
Astros. The wild card-leading Phillies remain two games behind
Atlanta in the NL East. It's just their sixth loss in their last 30
home games.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Phillies have added Hall of Fame pitcher
Bruce Sutter to their minor league staff as a pitching consultant.
Sutter had 300 career saves in a 12-year career with the Cubs,
Cardinals and Braves.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Albert Pujols hit a three-run home run one
pitch after injured Pirates starter Ross Ohlendorf was pulled
during a four-run St. Louis first inning in a 10-2 win in
Pittsburgh last night. Ohlendorf was lifted due to soreness and
tightness in his right shoulder after throwing only eight pitches.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pirates outfielder Jeff Clement has been
placed on the disabled list with an irritated knee. Lefthander
Justin Thomas has been called up from Triple-A Indianapolis. Thomas
allowed two runs in the ninth inning of last night's loss to St.
Louis.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Penn State's defense will be looking
to reload this season after losing some key players. Defensive
tackle Jared Odrick, and linebackers Sean Lee, Navorro Bowman and
Josh Hull are all in the NFL now. Defensive end Jack Crawford says
he's confident the remaining Nittany Lions can keep 19th-ranked
Penn State among the Big Ten's top units.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - Former Steelers safety Tyrone Carter and
fullback Carey Davis have been signed by the Redskins. Carter and
Davis both practiced yesterday. Carter has 53 starts over his 10
NFL seasons with Minnesota, including 12 games for the Steelers
last year. Davis started 10 games over three seasons for
Pittsburgh, but was used sparingly last year.

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) - Mexico has eliminated Puerto Rico
from the Little League World Series after a 4-2 win yesterday, but
the evening games were canceled because of rain. Little League was
able to get two other games in earlier yesterday, including
Taiwan's 23-0 rout of Canada. Ramstein Air Force Base, Germany beat
Plymouth, Minnesota, 2-1, in a consolation game.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The city-county Sports & Exhibition Authority
is taking public comment on what to do with the Penguins' former
home. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports the Penguins want to
tear down the arena and build a mixed use development to bolster
the neighboring Hill District.
