Kevin Correia and Brian Wilson pitched in the roles they’ve always envisioned. Pitching well could keep them there. Correia and Wilson shut down the slumping Brewers, and Barry Bonds drove in two runs as the San Francisco Giants beat Milwaukee 6-2 on Saturday night. The Giants scored four runs on a walk and five consecutive singles in the first inning, as the Brewers lost for the 20th time in 29…

There is no doubt Eli Manning is the leader of the New York Giants offense. The Jets can’t say the same with Kellen Clemens pushing Chad Pennington for the starting quarterback job. Clemens came off the bench in the second half and engineered two third-quarter touchdown drives against the Giants’ backups to lead the Jets…
Jeff Garcia saved his best for last. Garcia played three series Saturday, and he helped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Miami Dolphins 31-28 with a 26-yard touchdown pass to Joey Galloway on his final snap. Bruce Gradkowski brought the Bucs from behind twice in the fourth quarter and threw touchdown passes of 6 yards…
Tony Dungy wanted Saturday night’s preseason game to be a tuneup for the defending Super Bowl champions. Peyton Manning was thinking more about cleaning up.

Street Sense will be the horse to beat again at Saratoga Race Course — this time the Kentucky Derby winner was made the overwhelming 3-5 favorite for Saturday’s $1 million Travers Stakes. Last month, Street Sense won the Jim Dandy as the odds-on choice in his first start since his Triple Crown chances ended with…
Jockey Perry Ouzts earned his 5,000th career victory Tuesday when he rode Kandinsky to a wire-to-wire win in the first race at River Downs. Ouzts, 53, accepted a trophy that commemorated his accomplishment and posed for the traditional jockey photo. Then he went on to win two more races. He is River Downs’ career leading…
The Philadelphia Phillies bullpen coughed up another lead. Then, things really boiled over in the clubhouse after the game. Kevin Kouzmanoff hit a go-ahead homer off Brett Myers in the ninth inning, one of two Myers allowed in the inning, and the San Diego Padres beat Philadelphia 4-3 on Saturday night to hand the slumping…
One of the most reliable things in baseball has been Tim Hudson winning when given a lead of three runs or more. Until Saturday night. The Atlanta starter, who had been unbeaten in his past 76 starts when given a lead of at least three runs, squandered a three-run advantage in St. Louis on Saturday…
The Yankees sure didn’t look like a team suffering from a lack of sleep. Johnny Damon homered and tripled, Melky Cabrera added a three-run triple and Chien-Ming Wang delivered eight effective innings, leading New York to a 7-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night. Most players didn’t arrive at the ballpark until two…
The Atlanta Falcons apparently are not through with Michael Vick yet — not when the team still hopes to recover millions of dollars it already paid the quarterback.
