PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Roy Halladay went the distance yesterday to

right-hander is 5-0 with a 2.64 ERA during the stretch.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Philadelphia Phillies are preparing for
a major matchup tomorrow against the Boston Red Sox. Some have
viewed the upcoming series at Citizens Bank Park as a potential
World Series preview. Cliff Lee will start the first game of the
three-game set for the Phils. Josh Beckett will head to the hill
for the Sox.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Boston Red Sox beat the Pittsburgh Pirates
4-2 yesterday to snap a 4-game skid. The Pirates tied a season high
with four errors, preventing them from moving three games above
.500 this late in the season for the first time in 12 years.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pirates left-fielder Jose Tabata was taken off
the field on a stretcher after hurting his left leg in the first
inning yesterday against the Boston Red Sox. Tabata legged out an
infield single in the first and pulled up after running through the
bag. He toppled to the ground and remained on the grass for several
minutes.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Boston Red Sox right-fielder J.D. Drew left
yesterday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the second
inning after hurting himself during batting practice. The Red Sox
say Drew hurt his left eye after fouling off a pitch that ended up
hitting him in the face in the batting cage.

HERSHEY, Pa. (AP) - Scott Erdmann and Jeff Sorenson shot 6-under

National Championship.
