CINCINNATI (AP) - Andrew McCutchen opened the game with a homer
against slow-starting Edinson Volquez, then singled home the
tiebreaking run in the eighth inning yesterday, rallying the
Pirates to a 7-6 win over the Reds. McCutchen and Jose Tabata
started the game with back-to-back homers - only the third time
that's happened in Pirates history.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Carlos Ruiz hit the go-ahead sacrifice fly
in the eighth inning after an error by the Marlins defense, and the
Phillies beat Florida 3-2 yesterday. Ryan Madson tossed a scoreless
eighth after taking over for Cole Hamels, and Jose Contreras
survived a rocky ninth inning for his third save in as many
chances.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Flyers coach Peter Laviolette isn't saying
which goalie - Brian Boucher or Sergei Bobrovsky - will start Game
3 of their first-round playoff series at Buffalo tonight.
Laviolette repeatedly stuck to his policy of not discussing
potential lineup changes after practice yesterday.

BRANDON, Fla. (AP) - A puzzling scoring slump for Tampa Bay
Lightning All-Star Steven Stamkos has extended into the playoffs.
The 21-year-old All-Star was second in the NHL with 45 goals during
the regular season. But he has just five in his past 30 games and
has only gotten off two shots in the first two games of his team's
opening round series against the Penguins.

MIAMI (AP) - Dwyane Wade did not practice with the Miami Heat on
Sunday because of migraine symptoms, a problem he's battled for
years. His status is unclear for Game 2 tonight of Miami's
first-round series against the 76ers. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra
says Wade was getting rest and taking medication, though he
cautions that it's "too soon" to know if Wade will be able to
participate in shootaround this morning.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - A powerful one-two punch of former top
prep prospects from Connecticut could give Penn State a big boost
this fall. Tailback Silas Redd and linebacker Khairi Fortt both
left New England last year to sign on with coach Joe Paterno. Now
they're hoping their bigger roles in spring practice, which ended
Saturday, helps give them an edge for expanded roles when the
Nittany Lions reconvene in August for preseason camp.
