LOS ANGELES (AP) - Roy Halladay of the Phillies has earned his
15th win of the season, most in the National League. Halladay
pitched the Phils to a 5-3 victory over the Dodgers in Los Angeles
last night. Halladay went six and a-third innings, allowing nine
hits but just one run in running his record to 15-4.
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Shane
Victorino homered and had three hits and scored three runs in the
Phils' win in Los Angeles while appealing a three-game suspension
imposed for his part in a weekend brawl at San Francisco. Major
League Baseball also fined Victorino an undisclosed amount, but
he's allowed to play until his appeal is heard.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The Pittsburgh Pirates' 10-game losing
streak is history. The Pirates, who dropped from first to third in
the NL Central during their swoon, blanked NL West-leading San
Francisco 5-0 last night as Charlie Morton hurled eight strong
innings, allowing six hits.
MIAMI (AP) - Atlanta's Dan Uggla stretched his hitting streak to
29 games with an infield single last night in the Braves' 8-5 win
over Florida. That's the longest active hitting streak in the
majors and is two behind Rico Carty's franchise-record 31 in a row
in 1970.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Penn State's legendary 84-year-old
football coach Joe Paterno was hospitalized and undergoing tests on
his right arm and hip after a player ran into him during practice
on Sunday. A person familiar with the team says doctors were
evaluating Paterno's shoulder and pelvis, and there was no firm
diagnosis yet on the extent of the injuries.
HAVANA (AP) - A Twitter feed for marathon swimmer Diana Nyad
says she has ended her attempt at a record-setting swim from Cuba
to Florida after 29 hours.
Elaine Lafferty, who is on the boat according to Nyad's blog,
posted on Twitter: "It's over." Lafferty says "the combination
of factors was too much to safely continue."
Lafferty said heavy winds were part of the reason the
61-year-old stopped the 103-mile journey.
On Monday, Nyad's team had reported she was making good headway
through the Florida Straits despite some physical complaints.
Nyad had hoped to end her swim at the Southernmost Point in Key
West.
