RAYS 2, YANKEES 1: Tampa Bay shows a new resilience in tough situations.

NEW YORK -- As upset as Lou Piniella was in his media session after Saturday's loss, that apparently wasn't the full extent of his outrage.

Not so special

Down 2-0 to the Caps, the Lightning has no plans for drastic changes.

Gary Shelton
It's a crying shame for Mattiace
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The magic had long since left him. Len Mattiace was mortal again.

Golf
It's totally Weir-d

A strange, 19-hole final round as left-hander Mike Weir becomes first Canadian to win a major, big names such as Tiger Woods falter and a journeyman nearly pulls off a historic comeback.

Sandstorm blurs Maggert's day
Bunker woes put third-round leader 8-over par on two holes, costing him the tournament.

Mickelson doesn't rue his finish
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- On another day, it might have been good enough to win. A 4-under-par 68. A birdie at the final hole. His lowest final round at Augusta National.

Sailing

NBA
Aggressive game goes Bucks' way

MILWAUKEE -- The Bucks matched the Pacers push for push, shove for shove, taunt for taunt and almost technical for technical.

Tennis
Perfect season ends abruptly for Serena

CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Serena Williams is capable of losing, and everyone on the WTA Tour can thank Justine Henin-Hardenne for reminding them.

Motorsports
Gordon beats B. Labonte in a blink and a nudge

Martinsville provides a typical short-track finish, and nobody complains.

Drivers go, don't slow, on yellows
MARTINSVILLE, Va. -- If there ever was a gentleman's agreement among drivers to not race back to the caution flag, it obviously doesn't apply in the closing laps of a race.

Tracy completes first CART trifecta
LONG BEACH, Calif. -- Paul Tracy took advantage of Michel Jourdain Jr.'s misfortune Sunday to win the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, his third victory in as many races this season.
