Update on the latest in sports:MLB-SCHEDULE Mets win, again UNDATED (AP) — In the first result of the day in Major League Baseball, New York's Johan (YOH'-hahn) Santana pitched a four-hitter for his first shutout since 2010 as the Mets blanked the Padres 9-0. Santana was backed up with three home runs from his teammates. Mike Nickeas (NIHK'-ee-iss) hit New York's first grand slam of the season, and Scott Hairston and Vinny Rottino also went long for the Mets, who have won five of their last seven games. MLB-BRAVES Jones heads to DL ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Braves have placed Chipper Jones on the 15-day disabled list with a bruised left leg. He injured the leg on May 18 and missed seven straight starts. The 40-year-old Jones, in his final season, is hitting .307 with five homers and 24 RBIs. The Braves have gone 19-5 with Jones in the starting lineup this year, and 7-16 without him. MLB-INDIANS Tribe hit with injury bug CHICAGO (AP) — Cleveland Indians catcher Carlos Santana is likely headed to the seven-day concussion list. He was hit in the facemask by a foul tip in Friday's game with the White Sox. Manager Manny Acta also says All-Star shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera (ahs-DROO'-buhl kah-BREHR'-uh) is day to day because of tightness in his left hamstring. The injuries are a big blow to a team already missing designated hitter Travis Hafner and third baseman Jack Hanahan. MLB-TWINS Another chance for Liriano MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Francisco Liriano is getting another shot in the Minnesota Twins' starting rotation. Manager Ron Gardenhire has announced that the left-hander is moving out of the bullpen and will start Wednesday against Oakland. Liriano was demoted to the bullpen May 9 after going 0-5 with a 9.45 ERA in six starts. NBA-PLAYOFFS Game 7 showdown BOSTON (AP) — It will be a very simple scenario for the 76ers and Celtics when they take the court tonight in Boston. Winner goes on, loser goes home. Game 7 of their showdown has a place in the Eastern Conference final for the winning team, and an off-season of what-if's for the losing team. So far, the series has been a string of alternating wins with Philadelphia getting the last one at home Wednesday night to force the decisive game. The Miami Heat await the winner in the conference title round. GOLF-CROWNE PLAZA INVITATIONAL Dufner the one to catch FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Round three of the PGA's Crowne Plaza Invitational in Fort Worth, Texas, is in progress and Jason Dufner has increased his lead to three shots after 12 holes.

RACING-MONACO Webber to start from the lead MONACO (AP) — Former world champion Michael Schumacher posted the fastest time in qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix today, but his previous grid penalty means Mark Webber's Red Bull will start Sunday's race at the pole. Webber beat Nico Rosberg's time on his final lap, only for the 43-year-old Schumacher to surpass Webber's effort just moments later. But the grid penalty Schumacher got at the Spanish Grand Prix means he starts from sixth on the grid tomorrow. INDIANAPOLIS 500-WHELDON Wife of late driver returns to Indy INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Susie Wheldon received a long standing ovation during today's public driver meeting for tomorrow's Indianapolis 500.
