The pain might have been mitigated a bit by the early lead

He turned it around Sunday, pitching seven innings, giving up four hits and three walks, and striking out eight. In the process, he lowered his earned run average to 2.83. It was not quite the wondrous ease he showed a month and a half ago, but it was a highly effective performance nonetheless, and made him the National League's first 14-game winner.

"I felt like I had a good knuckleball pretty much the whole night," said Dickey, who battled nausea and stomach pains all game.

The pain might have been mitigated a bit by the early lead his teammates had given him. In the first inning, David Wright blasted a double off the base of the wall in right-center field, bringing in Daniel Murphy from first base. 

Evans and Teletovic agreed to terms Tuesday

The Nets also intend to re-sign Brook Lopez and Kris Humphries, their last two significant free agents, and the last two players remaining from the 2010-11 season.

Every deal has been made with Williams in mind, and Nets officials sought his input throughout the process.

Evans and Teletovic agreed to terms Tuesday, according to people involved in the deals.

Teletovic, 26, will sign a three-year, $15 million contract under the midlevel exception. Evans, 32, will come in a sign-and-trade deal worth about $5 million over three years. In exchange, the Nets will send the Clippers a second-round pick in either 2017 or 2018, plus a trade exception worth $3 million.
