MONACO (AP) — Sebastian Vettel needs to rediscover his speed in qualifying if he is to protect his overall Formula One lead at the Monaco Grand Prix.
Monaco is the hardest track to overtake on in F1, with only two drivers winning from outside of pole position in the last 10 years, so starting from the front is crucial.
But Vettel's Red Bull has not been as dominant in qualifying over the last three races, and the German's lead over Lotus driver Kimi...
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Matt Kuchar got off to a tremendous start in his second round at the Colonial. There was the eagle putt that stopped just short on his first hole and the approach at No. 2 that actually went in before ricocheting out of the cup.
There were four birdies in his first seven holes Friday, and he got the lead with a 6-foot birdie putt at the 457-yard 14th hole.
But he'll have to wait until Saturday morning to finish the second...
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Boston or the New York Rangers? To be honest, Ottawa's Daniel Alfredsson doesn't think it matters who the Pittsburgh Penguins face in the Eastern Conference finals.
At the moment, Alfredsson believes the Penguins are a cut above.
"I think they would be the favorite to play either of those two teams," Alfredsson said. "They have skill, speed, they're well-coached and a lot of experience as well. So they're going to be a tough team to...
MIAMI (AP) — David West was more than a little disappointed when the Indiana Pacers failed to make a defensive play at the end to win Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.
So in Game 2, he made those plays himself. Twice, in fact.
And he victimized the game's best player to make them happen.
LeBron James had two turnovers in the last minute — both when passes that he called "careless" got broken up by West — and the Miami Heat...
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Dodgers returned home and lost for the fifth time in seven games, with sluggers Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier going hitless in a combined six at-bats.
A few hours after team president Stan Kasten said Don Mattingly wasn't in immediate danger of being fired, the Dodgers did nothing to support their manager who has faced intense speculation this week about his job status.
Lance Lynn limited the Dodgers to two hits over six innings,...
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Tim Lincecum is having his share of trouble against Colorado's dangerous lineup. When he misses, the Rockies capitalize.
That was the case again Friday night in a 5-0 loss for Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants, who had a nine-game home winning streak snapped in the rivalry and lost their fourth in a row to the Rockies overall.
Lincecum (3-4) struck out eight and walked two over seven innings in his second consecutive start...

SEATTLE (AP) — Lance Berkman found his home run stroke from the right side of the plate. Justin Grimm struggled early only to rebound and turn in another quality start.
The Texas Rangers had a little of everything go in their favor Friday night, even a double play that shouldn't have been.
Jeff Baker hit a two-run homer and Berkman added a three-run shot, both off Seattle starter Joe Saunders, and the Rangers beat the Mariners 9-5....
