Phillies have taken two straight. They will go for a sweep today.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Adrian Gonzalez made his second career start

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Penguins have offered former NHL MVP
Jaromir Jagr a one-year contract. The 39-year-old was a Pittsburgh
draft pick in 1990. He helped lead the Penguins to two Stanley Cup
championships. The franchise hopes that he will accept the offer,
play at least one season in Pittsburgh, and then retire with the
team he started with.

HERSHEY, Pa. (AP) - David Hutsell won the 44th PGA Professional
National Championship yesterday, beating Faber Jamerson with a

Jamerson and Scott Erdmann at 11-under 274.

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. (AP) - Erik Compton is among the elite on
the PGA Tour at the AT&T National, even though he has been in a
league of his own for about as long as he's been playing golf.
Compton is in the same group with Jim Furyk and Hunter Mahan at
Aronimink. One of them is a former U.S. Open champion. Another
played in the Ryder Cup and won a World Golf Championship last
year.

NEW YORK (AP) - Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom is out for
the rest of the year with a leg injury. The colt's ownership says a

fracture in his left hind leg just above the small fracture found
two weeks ago. Animal Kingdom will have surgery today at New Bolton
Research Center in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A person familiar with the situation says NFL
Commissioner Roger Goodell and players' boss DeMaurice Smith are
back in Minnesota for labor talks as they try to put pro football
back in business. The person says after Goodell and Smith addressed
NFL rookies in Florida yesterday morning, they returned north to
resume negotiations.

NEW YORK (AP) - Negotiators for NBA owners and players will meet
today in the final hours before the expiration of the collective
bargaining agreement, perhaps needing to make significant progress
to avoid a lockout. The CBA expires at the end of the day, and the
sides remain far apart on most major issues.

ATLANTA (AP) - The mother of Terrell Owens' child says the NFL
star has refused to pay the full $5,000 a month in child support he
owes. Melanie Paige Smith filed court papers June 20th in an
Atlanta court seeking to hold the player in contempt. Attorney
Randall Kessler says Owens has refused to pay the full $5,000 for
June.

potential World Series preview, Lee and the Phillies dominated the
opener.

Ryan Madson on the 15-day disabled list with a right hand

yesterday before the major league-leading Phillies opened a
three-game series against Boston.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Boston Red Sox have activated relievers
Bobby Jenks and Franklin Morales from the 15-day disabled list.

to Triple-A Pawtucket to make room on the roster. The moves were
announced before last night's game against the Phillies.

TORONTO (AP) - Alex Presley hit his first career home run,
Andrew McCutchen added a shot, and the Pittsburgh Pirates held on

won five of six.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pirates have placed outfielder Jose Tabata

total.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - They were part of the two biggest deals in
recent Philadelphia Flyers history. And now, Brayden Schenn, Wayne

by Mike Richards and Jeff Carter. The three were introduced
yesterday at the Wells Fargo Center, five days after being acquired
by the Flyers in two separate blockbuster trades.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Penguins re-signed forward Pascal Dupuis

along with a plus-16 rating last season.

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. (AP) - Tiger Woods says he's not coming back
until he's fully healthy. Woods says he's making progress in his

often in his career, and now is the time to be smarter about his
health.

UNDATED (AP) - Two of Terrell Owens' former teammates say the
star wide receiver plans to return to the NFL despite recent
surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee.
Both players spoke to The Associated Press on condition of
anonymity yesterday because Owens hasn't publicly revealed he had
the surgery.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA
executive director DeMaurice Smith flew to Florida together to
speak to rookies after opening four days of labor talks in
Minnesota. Spokesmen for the league and the players' association
confirmed last night that the two power brokers were on the same
plane from Minnesota to address the NFLPA's rookie symposium.

DALLAS (AP) - Representatives for NBA players and owners will

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Boston Red Sox-Philadelphia Phillies
series could be a preview of what's to come. Long before spring
training even started, the Sox and the Phils were favorites to play
each other in October. Here comes an early taste. The teams will
open a three-game set at Citizens Bank Park tonight with Cliff Lee
facing Josh Beckett.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pirates announced yesterday that
outfielder Jose Tabata has been diagnosed with a left quad strain,
but his status is uncertain. The 22-year-old suffered the injury in
the first inning of Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox in
Pittsburgh, and was carted off the field. He could be placed on the
15-day disabled list later this week.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Flyers signed right wing Andreas Nodl
and left wing Tom Sestito to contract extensions yesterday. The
club also acquired a draft choice from Minnesota in exchange for
center Darroll Powe.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Jeff Carter is moving forward. There may
have been feelings of shock, anger and resentment when he found out
he'd been traded from the Philadelphia Flyers to the Columbus Blue
Jackets last week. But Carter says, "I'm in Columbus now. I'm not
worried about what's going on (in Philadelphia) anymore."

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Bylsma says star
center Evgeni Malkin "probably is already ready to go" for the
start of next season following recovery from torn ligaments in his
right knee. Bylsma says Malkin is making significant progress in
his rehabilitation.

HERSHEY, Pa. (AP) - Kansas club pro Sean Dougherty shot an
8-under 64 yesterday to set a 36-hole scoring record and build a
two-shot lead in his debut in the PGA Professional National

record previously held by Sam Snead in 1971.

to prove himself.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Philadelphia 76ers could be for sale.
Comcast-Spectacor and chairman Ed Snider have owned the Sixers
since 1996. An executive confirms there are ongoing discussions
about the future of the team. The statement from Comcast-Spectacor
chief operating officer Peter Luukko came in response to a report
on ESPN.com.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Lyle Overbay hit a three-run double to cap a
five-run eighth inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied for an
8-5 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks last night. Arizona was in
position for its seventh consecutive road win after Daniel Hudson
allowed only one earned run through seven innings, but Daniel
Hernandez didn't retire any of the six batters he faced in the
eighth.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pittsburgh Pirates designated reliever
Jose Ascanio for assignment and recalled left-hander Tony Watson
yesterday. Ascanio had a 7.11 ERA in eight games, allowing 10 hits
in 6 1-3 innings in his first action in the majors since 2009.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Rubby De La Rosa pitched five effective
innings in his first career start and Dee Gordon had three hits in
his first start, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the
Philadelphia Phillies 6-2 last night. De La Rosa allowed one run,
constantly having to pitch out of trouble because he walked five
and gave up four hits.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The attorney for Terrelle Pryor says the
quarterback won't return to Ohio State for his senior season.
Columbus lawyer Larry James says his client would most likely make
himself available for an NFL supplemental draft. Pryor had already
been suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season for
accepting improper benefits.

NEW YORK (AP) - The NFL and its players have again held secret
talks at an undisclosed location, seeking a resolution to the labor
impasse. A person familiar with the meetings tells The Associated
Press the two groups did meet yesterday. The person spoke on
condition of anonymity because the meetings are supposed to be
secret.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pittsburgh Penguins have signed assistant
coaches Tony Granato, Todd Reirden and Gilles Meloche to multi-year
contract extensions. The Penguins announced yesterday strength and
conditioning coach Mike Kadar also received a multi-year extension.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) - The Phoenix Coyotes have traded the
negotiating rights of free agent goalie Ilya Bryzgalov to the
Philadelphia Flyers for forward Matt Clackson, a third-round draft
pick in 2012 and future considerations. The Coyotes had made
Bryzgalov and defenseman Keith Yandle, a restricted free agent,
their top priorities this offseason.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Corey Fisher is hoping his future
includes a job in the NBA. The Villanova player was one of six
prospective draft picks who worked out yesterday for the New Jersey
Nets at their training facility. It was the seventh pre-draft
working for the Bronx native. He has five more to go before the
draft on June 23rd.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Sam Hornish Jr. will return to the Sprint
Cup Series for the first time this season at Pocono Raceway.
Hornish will replace Travis Kvapil in the Number 38 Ford for Front
Row Motorsports. Kvapil will spend the weekend racing in the Trucks
Series event at Texas.

BEDMINSTER, N.J. (AP) - David Sanders of Laurel Creek shot a
3-under 69 and took a two-stroke lead after the first round of the
New Jersey State Golf Association Amateur Championship yesterday.
Jake Goldenring, Matt Finger, 2010 runner-up Pat Wilson and Mike
Stamberger had the only other sub-par rounds.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - West Virginia coach-in-waiting Dana
Holgorsen and head coach Bill Stewart are making unwanted headlines
that has the Mountaineers athletic director re-examining his
decision to have them work together. Oliver Luck said yesterday in
a statement he doesn't discuss personnel matters publicly. But when
asked by KDKA-FM whether he would do the same arrangement again, he
said, "I don't know."

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Philadelphia Phillies snapped a 4-game
skid yesterday and beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-3. Neil Walker hit
a two-run homer in the first inning, one of six Pittsburgh hits off
Roy Halladay, who had six strikeouts and one walk in tying for the
most wins in the majors.

NEW YORK (AP) - The Pittsburgh Pirates have the Number 1 draft
pick tonight, and the organization has options. UCLA right-hander
Gerrit Cole could be the Pirates' guy. Or, maybe Rice third baseman
Anthony Rendon. The Pirates last drafted first in 2002, when they
took pitcher Bryan Bullington.

CHICAGO (AP) - Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany figures Ohio
State is in for some tough questions as it tries to dig out from
the scandal that cost football coach Jim Tressel his job. On a day
when the Big Ten announced Indianapolis will host the football
championship through 2015 and rotate the men's and women's
basketball tournaments with Chicago, the Tressel saga remained a
hot topic.

MESA, Ariz. (AP) - Hall of Famer Betsy King has qualified for
the U.S. Women's Open. She finished second in a 36-hole sectional
qualifier at Alta Mesa Golf Club. King had rounds of 73 and 71 on
Thursday to finish a stroke behind amateur Kyung Kim.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - Steve Wheatcroft ran away with the
Melwood Prince George's County Open, finishing a staggering 29
under yesterday for a Nationwide Tour-record 12-stroke victory. The
former Indiana University player eagled the final hole for a
7-under 64 on the University of Maryland Golf Course.

PARIS (AP) - Bjorn Fratangelo became the first American boy
since John McEnroe in 1977 to win the junior title at the French
Open by defeating Dominic Thiem of Austria 3-6, 6-3, 8-6 yesterday.
The unseeded Fratangelo broke serve at 6-all when Thiem's backhand
sailed wide. He clinched victory and fell flat on the red dirt when
the 14th-seeded Thiem hit a backhand return long on match point.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Alex Rasmussen of HTC-Highroad won a sprint
to the finish line to win the 156-mile Philadelphia International
Championship pro cycling race yesterday. Rasmussen finished with a
time of five hours, 59 minutes, four seconds, just ahead of Peter
Sagan of Liquigas-Cannondale and Robert Forster of Team
UnitedHealthcare.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Dartmouth used speed and finesse to run over
Army 32-10 in the final of the USA Sevens Collegiate Rugby
Championship yesterday. Chris Downer scored a pair of tries as the
Big Green stayed on the attack from the outset and proved that
sevens is vastly different from the more traditional 15's that
schools play.

NEW YORK (AP) - Plaxico Burress is ready to walk out of prison
and face another grim reality, a lockout that could jeopardize the
resumption of his football career. The former New York Giants
receiver was locked up for 20 months for illegally carrying and
firing a gun at a Manhattan nightclub. He's set to leave the Oneida
Correctional Facility in upstate New York today.
