PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Ross Detwiler outpitched Cliff Lee by
tossing 7 1-3 impressive innings and the Washington Nationals beat
the NL East champion Philadelphia Phillies 3-0 last night to
complete a sweep of their day-night doubleheader. In the opener,
Tommy Milone threw six scoreless innings and pinch-hitter Ryan
Zimmerman delivered an RBI single in the 10th to lift the Nationals
to a 4-3 victory.

PHOENIX (AP) - Charlie Morton threw six scoreless innings and
the Pittsburgh Pirates slowed Arizona's drive toward the NL West
title with a 5-3 victory over the Diamondbacks last night. The
Diamondbacks got some help, though, when Clayton Kershaw pitched
the Dodgers to a 2-1 victory over San Francisco in Los Angeles.

TORONTO (AP) - Sergei Bobrovsky made 27 saves to lead the
Philadelphia Flyers to a 4-0 exhibition victory over the Toronto
Maple Leafs last night. The Flyers scored three times in the second
period, with forwards Zac Rinaldo, Wayne Simmonds and Mike
Testwuide beating Leafs goalie James Reimer in an 11-minute span.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - The latest version of a revolving-door
offensive line satisfied Steelers coach Mike Tomlin Sunday. Good
thing, too, as it's highly possible each will start again this
week. Tomlin said yesterday that starting left guard Chris Kemoeatu
will be evaluated throughout the week to see if he can practice at
full speed after he missed the 24-0 win over Seattle with a knee
injury.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - The most prominent football program in
the East plays in a conference filled with Midwestern schools. But
don't expect Penn State to take part in the latest round of
changes. Coach Joe Paterno yesterday even suggested again looking
eastward to expand the Big Ten, throwing out Rutgers as a potential
addition for a league with its Eastern terminus in Happy Valley.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - The Penn State women's volleyball team
faces a high-profile challenge for its Big Ten opener with a visit
today to Nebraska. It's the Cornhuskers' conference debut after the
school jumped to the Big Ten from the Big 12. Another sellout is
expected at Nebraska Coliseum, where the 10th-ranked Huskers have
sold out 152 straight matches.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A Philadelphia judge has declared a mistrial
for three men charged in a fatal beating outside a Phillies game
two years ago. The mistrial yesterday comes after a prosecution
witness identified defendant Frances Kirchner as the person who
kicked David Sale Jr., of Lansdale.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A federal judicial panel is considering
whether to reverse a ruling it made a week ago to declare nine-time
Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis eligible to run for state Senate
in New Jersey. The three judges held a hearing yesterday on the
matter. New Jersey election officials and Republicans say the
Democrat does not meet a four-year residency requirement.

SHARON, Pa. (AP) - Members of two Pennsylvania high school
football teams have been suspended after a brawl prompted officials
to end their game early. Officials at Sharon and Hickory high
schools say additional penalties are also planned for more than a
dozen players involved in the rumble during the fourth quarter of
Friday's game at Sharon.
