KWBG Sports at a Glance for August 12th

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. (AP) - Steve Stricker is the leader heading

into the second round of the PGA Championship at Atlanta Country

Club. Stricker opened with a 7-under-par 63 that ties the lowest

score ever in a major. Jerry Kelly is two shots back, Shaun Micheel

(mih-KEEL') is three off the lead and Tiger Woods is a whopping 14

strokes behind following a 7-over 77.

NEW YORK (AP) - The New York Yankees are within one game of

first-place Boston in the American League East after Robinson Cano

(kuh-NOH') belted a tiebreaking grand slam in the seventh inning of

the Bombers' 6-5 triumph over the Los Angeles Angels. Cano's blast

came one batter after Maicer Izturis (MY'-sur ihz-TOOR'-ihs)

committed a two-out error, and one inning after Curtis Granderson

tied the game with a two-run homer. The Angels are two games behind

West-leading Texas and eight games behind the Yankees for the wild

card.

PHOENIX (AP) - The Arizona Diamondbacks homered their way to a

one-game lead over San Francisco in the National League West last

night. Chris Young launched a three-run homer in the bottom of the

10th to give the DBacks an 8-5 comeback win over Houston. Paul

Goldschmidt forced extra innings with a two-out, two-run homer in

the ninth, one inning after Arizona scored twice in the eighth to

get within 5-3.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Osi

Umenyiora (OH'-see yoo-mihn-YOOR'-uh) tells The Associated Press

that his contract talks remain deadlocked. Giants' general manager

Jerry Reese offered a little hope by saying he expected to have the

29-year-old veteran back in the fold for this season. Umenyiora has

not practiced since training camp opened in late July because he is

unhappy with his contract.

UNDATED (AP) - The Pittsburgh Steelers have agreed to terms with

wide receiver Jericho Cotchery, who was released by the Jets last

week. The Kansas City Chiefs have signed former Ravens tackle Jared

Gaither. And running back Ahman Green has retired as a Green Bay

Packer, ending his career as the team's all-time rushing leader.

KWBG Sports at a Glance for August 9th

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.
