ATLANTA (AP) - The Penguins closed the regular season with a 5-2
victory Sunday over the already-eliminated Atlanta Thrashers. Tyler
Kennedy scored the first of Pittsburgh's four second-period goals
and reserve goalie Brent Johnson won his fourth straight decision.
Pascal Dupuis, Michael Rupp and rookie Mark Letestu also scored in
the second period. Late in the third, Mike Comrie scored an
empty-net goal to make it 5-1.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Flyers adjusted their championship caps,
pulled on the T-shirts and prepared to celebrate. Winning their
first Atlantic Division title in seven years was a fun way to end
the season and forget about the sorry month that preceded the
clincher. The Flyers look to turn things around in the playoff when
they meet the Buffalo Sabres this week.

ATLANTA (AP) - Cole Hamels combined with two relievers on a
five-hitter and Shane Victorino capped a big series with three
hits, including his first homer, to lead the Phillies past the
Braves 3-0 yesterday. Hamels rebounded after giving up six runs in
2-plus innings of a 7-1 home loss to the Mets last Tuesday.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Colorado kept up its strong start with a 6-5
win over the Pirates yesterday, giving the Rockies three wins in
four games of their first road series this season. Lyle Overbay had
two RBIs and Jose Tabata extended his hitting streak to 10 games
for the Pirates, who are back to .500 after opening the season by
winning four of six on the road

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pirates have placed starter Ross Ohlendorf
on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right shoulder.
Ohlendorf removed himself from Friday night's game against Colorado
in the third inning when he felt discomfort in the same area of his
shoulder that landed him on the 60-day DL to end last season. To
take Ohlendorf's spot, the club recalled right-hander Daniel
McCutchen from Triple-A Indianapolis.
