Some good news for Alex Gogolev on Sunday afternoon helped brighten up a rather dreary ending to the season for the 20-year-old Victoria Royals forward.

PHOENIX - Scott Baker was thrilled to be pitching in front of fans for the first time since having elbow-reconstruction surgery. He knows it could be quite some time before he's doing it on a regular basis.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Aaron Hill is a wealthier man this year, Trevor Cahill a slimmer one. Both had their best days of the spring in the Arizona Diamondbacks' 9-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in a split-squad game Sunday.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. - After hitting four home runs to build a comfortable lead, the Cincinnati Reds made four errors and let it slip away.

BRISTOL, Tenn. - Kasey Kahne's bumper-banging battle with Brad Keselowski was just the warm-up act in an action-packed race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - With Johan Santana sidelined, Jonathon Niese is looking more and more like the New York Mets' opening day starter. Niese gave up one run and two hits in five innings Sunday in the Mets' 2-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves.

LONDON, Ont. - Home ice was good to sa国际传媒's team at the world figure skating championships. Now the Canadians plan to make the Sochi arena their own.

TORONTO - Miami's record-setting win steak continued where it started thanks to an inspiring speech from Heat veteran Shane Battier.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - The reigning NHL MVP is out indefinitely with an upper body injury. The league's top-scoring defenceman is out, too, apparently because of a lower body issue. Still, it hardly matters for the streaking Pittsburgh Penguins.

CLEARWATER, Fla. - Domonic Brown turned on an inside fastball and sent a towering drive way out to right field. A few innings later, he made a diving catch on a sinking liner to left.
