PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz and first baseman Ryan Howard will have MRI exams Monday. Ruiz will miss Monday's game at the Miami Marlins after straining his right hamstring Sunday in a 3-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Cy Young himself wouldn't want to mess with the Indians right now.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Another year, another Triple Crown hopeful unable to come through. After Oxbow upset Kentucky Derby winner Orb in Saturday's Preakness to extend racing's Triple Crown drought to 36 years, the next best alternative for the Belmont Stakes is a rematch.

WEST BROMWICH, England (AP) — Alex Ferguson. Former Manchester United manager. At the end of his 1,500th game in charge of Man United on Sunday, the 71-year-old Scot bowed in front of thousands of applauding fans — and then bowed out of soccer for good.

CHICAGO (AP) — In case they weren't aware already, the Chicago Blackhawks now know they're going to have to earn it if they want to get past Detroit.

Mike Krzyzewski is no longer ruling out a return as coach of the U.S. Olympic men's basketball team.
