  • Goodell won't suspend Benson (Jul 31, 2010)
    The NFL won't punish Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson for his off-season arrest involving an alleged bar fight in Texas.

    Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement Friday that he's satisfied Benson understands his responsibilities as an NFL player and a public figure. Benson met with Goodell and other league officials last week.The decision didn't seem to surprise Benson, who came away from the meeting optimistic.

    "A lot of questions came up and everyone was wondering," Benson said, following practice Friday. "We had a good discussion. I didn't think a suspension would come about afterward, but I was curious to see what his final decision would be. Here we go off to the season, and I'll be out there for week one."

    Benson is the focal point of a running game that helped the Bengals win the AFC North last season. He ran for 1,251 yards in 13 games, missing three because of a strained hip.

    "Cedric has committed to working hard to make better decisions and avoid any further incidents," Goodell said. "We support him and expect him to be successful in meeting this commitment."
  • Braves get 2-out double in the 10th (Jul 31, 2010)
    CINCINNATI Jason Heyward doubled home two runs with two outs in the 10th inning Friday night, rallying the Atlanta Braves to a 6-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds that restored a little of their rapidly vanishing lead in the NL East.

    Atlanta moved 3 games ahead of second-place Philadelphia, which lost to Washington 8-1 in Roy Oswalt's debut with the Phillies.

    Reds closer Francisco Cordero (3-4) walked two batters in the 10th. Heyward worked the count full, then hit a sinking liner that diving left fielder Jonny Gomes couldn't catch, allowing both runners to score.

    Jesse Chavez (3-2) escaped a threat in the ninth. Billy Wagner got out of a two-on threat in the 10th, earning his 24th save in 29 chances by fanning Drew Stubbs for the final out.

    The dramatic victory was typical for the Braves. They have won 17 games in their final at-bat, most in the majors.
  • Delmarva snaps losing streak with 18 hits (Jul 31, 2010)
    Friday, the Delmarva Shorebirds took batting practice for the first time in six games.

    They had such a good time, they continued swinging throughout the game and matched their season high of 18 hits en route to a 10-5 victory over the Lexington Legends at Applebee's Park.

    Delmarva's lack of recent pre-game hacks began after an 18-inning loss to Lakewood on Saturday. Two days later, the Shorebirds lost in 10 innings. So Manager Ryan Minor gave his players some time to rest.

    T.J. Baxter, Ty Kelly, Kieron Pope, Justin Dalles and Garabez Rosa all had three-hit nights for the Birds, who snapped a four-game losing streak.

    Jose Altuve, Grant Hogue and Brian Kemp each had two of the Legends' nine hits. Altuve led off the first with his 11th homer of the year.
  • Yankees get Austin Kearns (Jul 31, 2010)
    NEW YORK The Yankees expect to acquire Lance Berkman from the Houston Astros on Saturday and already worked out a deal to obtain outfielder Austin Kearns from the Cleveland Indians.

    New York will send a couple of prospects to the Astros, a baseball executive familiar with the discussions said. The executive spoke on condition of anonymity because talks were ongoing.

    "Nothing's been completed," Berkman said Friday in Houston, before the Astros played Milwaukee.

    A five-time All-Star, Berkman has full no-trade rights and his approval was necessary for a trade. He was not in the starting lineup against the Brewers.

    Kearns, a former Lafayette star, left Cleveland's game at Toronto in the seventh inning on Friday night, and was traded to the Yankees for a player to be named or cash. The former first-round draft pick is hitting .272 with eight homers and 42 RBI.
  • Wall wows the kids at Calipari camp (Jul 31, 2010)
    John Wall arrived at Kentucky doing a crowd-pleasing dance.

    He'd love to return and do something similar, but a tad more traditional.

    "Hopefully," Wall said Friday, "I can be (in the NBA) for years to come and come back to the game and be one of those persons that throws up the Y at the end of the Kentucky thing."

    Yes, the NBA's A-No. 1 draft pick is interested in being the Y.

    He is still certainly the star, arriving back in town for an appearance before eager campers at the John Calipari ProCamp on Friday. DeMarcus Cousins took his turn horsing around with the little dribblers Thursday. Eric Bledsoe and Patrick Patterson are scheduled to entertain the campers Saturday.
