DENVER (AP) - The Philadelphia Phillies are threatening to run

fifth straight win, while the Braves were dropping a 9-3 game in
Washington to the last-place Nationals.
CHICAGO (AP) - Mark Teixeira set a major league

tie with Eddie Murray and Chili Davis, who each homered 11 times

NEW YORK (AP) - The NBA, which has locked out its players in a
labor dispute in its second month, had a busy legal day, filing an
unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations
Board and a lawsuit in federal district court in New York. The
league accuses the NBA Players Association of being uncooperative
in negotiations.
NEW YORK (AP) -Increasingly playing hardball, David Stern thinks
the only people NBA players are threatening by going overseas is
themselves, and dismissed the threat of Deron Williams
and others playing overseas as weakening the NBA's product.
Instead, Stern says such defections could divide the union and
possibly jeopardize players' contracts if they were to be seriously
injured.
