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. 

Willingham took a fastball from Jason Grilli

Willingham took a fastball from Jason Grilli (1-2) over the wall in left field for his 14th homer of the season to break a tie as the Twins won for just the second time in their last seven games. Glen Perkins pitched the ninth for his first save in place of injured closer Matt Capps.

Jared Burton (1-0) picked up the win in relief of starter Francisco Liriano, who pitched arguably his best game of the season, giving up one run and four hits in 6 2-3 innings. The left-hander struck out six and walked two.

Pittsburgh's Erik Bedard overcame a shaky start to surrender one run over six innings but was long gone by the time Willingham notched the first homer given up by Grilli since April 17.

Legal experts say the federal government probably

Legal experts say the federal government probably has the power to push the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline and the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion to completion despite opposition in B.C. which grew Tuesday to include B.C. hockey hero Scott Niedermayer.

Niedermayer said Tuesday the Northern Gateway pipeline and its associated tankers are too great a risk to run through B.C.'s so-called "Great Bear region."

"It's tremendously important to me to be a Canadian for the Great Bear. The amazing places we have in our country are part of what it means to be Canadian," said Niedermayer, who grew up in Cranbrook, B.C.

Ryan McDonagh said of the Capitals

Coach John Tortorella pronounced that history "irrelevant," as did several players. Some Rangers said they found the Capitals under Coach Dale Hunter to be very similar to the Senators. While the Senators and the Capitals barely made the playoffs with 92 points, both are gritty opponents who pose problems.

"They've got a lot of top-end skill guys up front, similar to Ottawa," Ryan McDonagh said of the Capitals, who eliminated the defending champion Bruins in overtime in Game 7, with the rookie goalie Braden Holtby leading the way. "They have some mobile defensemen as well, like the Senators. And their goaltender is playing pretty well, like Anderson did for Ottawa."

Brad Richards said he thought the Capitals resembled not only the Senators, but also the Rangers.

Matt Read made it 5-3 with the first of his two goals

Giroux checked in with a paltry goal and assist contrasted to his six-point effort in Game 2.

The Flyers cannot claim purity in their overall demeanor, either. There was a dirty knee-on-knee hit by defenseman Nicklas Grossmann on Neal in the second period, which Neal immediately converted for a power-play goal at 10:31 to make it a 4-3.

Matt Read made it 5-3 with the first of his two goals. Jordan Staal responded with a tap-in after a hideous play of the puck by Bryzgalov, who on many other Flyer teams might have been booed to the bench by then.

But the killer goal came with 46 seconds left in the second, when Flyers winger Wayne Simmonds took a nifty pass from Braydon Coburn, deked Fleury to the forehand and backhanded a puck to the short side. That made it 6-4.

Wonder burying his head in the crook of his arm

McIlroy, meanwhile, was on his way to the greatest collapse by a 54-hole leader at the Masters in more than a half-century. The tee shot behind a cabin left of the 10th fairway. A three-putt from 7 feet on the 11th, and a four-putt from 12 feet on the 12th. The lasting image was Boy Wonder burying his head in the crook of his arm after a wayward tee shot on the 13th. He shot 80 that day.
The devastation gave way to a coronation two months later, however, when the 22-year-old from Northern Ireland shattered the U.S. Open scoring record and won by eight shots at Congressional.
