HOUSTON (AP) — Golden State guard Stephen (STEH'-fehn) Curry said yesterday that he'll be very surprised if his sprained right ankle causes him to miss Game 4 of the Warriors' first-round playoff series against the Rockets in Houston tomorrow. Curry has sat out the Warriors' last two games after he scored 24 points in the series opener. The Warriors have split their two games without Curry and lead the Rockets two games to one.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Rain washed out qualifying at Richmond International Raceway yesterday, giving Kevin Harvick the pole position for Sunday's race based on his time in an abbreviated morning practice session.

TORONTO (AP) — Major League Baseball has slapped Blue Jays first baseman Chris Colabello with an 80-game suspension without pay for a positive test of the same anabolic steroid that caused Philadelphia pitcher Daniel Stumpf to be disciplined last week. The punishment means Colabello would be ineligible for postseason play and will fall short of the service time required to become eligible for salary arbitration next winter. He is batting just .069 after compiling a .321 average with 15 home runs and 54 RBIs in a career-high 101 games for the Jays last year.
