Last fall, the commis- sioner’s office changed how baseballs are removed from the Coors Field humi- dor and monitored during games after Giants general manager Brian Sabean expressed his concerns to MLB vice president of operations Joe Garagiola Jr. During that final homes- tand, the umpires became directly involved in taking balls from the humidor and placing them in full view during the game. Before that, the Rockies had a team employee handle the baseballs, and that led to a lot of grousing by oppo- nents that some livelier, non-humidor baseballs were being put into play when the Rockies were 6.

Although there was no proof of any such shenani- gans, MLB changed the protocol one day after Lincecum, during the sixth inning of a stellar perfor- mance, was caught on camera uttering expletives after being given a new ball following a pitch to Miguel Olivo: ‘‘Juiced ball,’’ Lincecum said. ‘‘This is (expletive).’’ This season, Major League Baseball went a step further, adding an authenticator who watches as baseballs are removed from the humidor by an umpire room attendant. The authenticator, who is employed by MLB, fol- lows the attendant to the umpire’s room, where the baseballs are rubbed down, and accompanies the atten- dant as the balls are placed in the Rockies’ dugout. During games, the authenticator sits in the photo well to the right of the Rockies’ dugout with the bag of balls in sight. 11. Tyler Smith, Fruita, Colo. $25,057 12.

So, no.’’ The rivalry is spicy enough without any humi- dor hyperbole. ‘‘I know a couple of their guys pretty good, including Lincecum,’’ Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said. ‘‘We think it’s pretty comical.’’ The Rockies found nothing to laugh about Monday night, when the Giants spotted Lincecum a five-run lead in the first inning as Burrell (his fifth) and Schierholtz (his first) hit back-to-back homers. Burrell, who came in with a .336 batting average at Coors Field with 10 homers and 36 RBIs, sent a 2-1 offering into the left- field tunnel for a three-run shot that made it 4-0.

LONDON (AP) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host the Chica- go Bears at London’s Wembley Sta- dium in October if the NFL season isn’t altered by a labor dispute. With the league and its locked-out players still mired in negotiations over a new labor agreement, the NFL on Monday announced its plans for what it hopes will be the fifth regular- season game played in the British Bucs to play Bears in London in October capital. The Bucs are set to return to Lon- don for the second time in three years, having lost to the New England Patriots at Wembley in 2009. For the Bears, the game on Oct. 23 will mark the 25th anniversary of having played a preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys at the stadium in 1986. ‘‘Our past four games in London have demonstrated the tremendous passion for NFL football that exists in the UK,’’ NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. This would be the fifth consecu- tive year that the NFL has staged a regular-season game in London as the league tries to win over new fans and increase its marketing appeal over- seas. The full 2011 NFL schedule will be released Tuesday. go 0 Friday, April 15: Vancouver 4, Chicago 3 Sunday, April 17:Vancouver 3, Chicago 2 Tuesday, April 19: Vancouver at Chicago, 5 p.m. x-Thursday, April 21: Chicago at Vancou- ver, 7 p.m. x-Sunday, April 24:Vancouver at Chicago, 4:30 p.m. x-Tuesday, April 26: Chicago at Vancou- ver, TBD San Jose 1, Los Angeles 1 Thursday, April 14: San Jose 3, Los Angeles 2, OT Saturday, April 16: Los Angeles 4, San Jose 0 Tuesday, April 19: San Jose at Los Ange- les, 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 21: San Jose at Los Angeles, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 23: Los Angeles at San Jose, 7:30 p.m. x-Monday, April 25: San Jose at Los Angeles, TBD x-Wednesday, April 27: Los Angeles at San Jose, TBD Detroit 2, Phoenix 0 Wednesday, April 13: Detroit 4, Phoenix 2 Saturday, April 16: Detroit 4, Phoenix 3 Monday, April 18: Detroit at Phoenix, late Wednesday, April 20: Detroit at Phoenix, 7:30 p.m. x-Friday, April 22: Phoenix at Detroit, 4 p.m. x-Sunday, April 24: Detroit at Phoenix, TBD x-Wednesday, April 27: Phoenix at Detroit, TBD Nashville 2, Anaheim 1 Wednesday, April 13: Nashville 4, Ana- heim 1 Friday, April 15: Anaheim 5, Nashville 3 Sunday, April 17: Nashville 4, Anaheim 3 Wednesday, April 20: Anaheim at Nashville, 5:30 p.m. Friday, April 22: Nashville at Anaheim, 7 p.m. x-Sunday, April 24: Anaheim at Nashville, TBD x-Tuesday, April 26: Nashville at Ana- heim, TBD NBA Playoff Glance By The Associated Press FIRST ROUND (Best-of-7) (x-if necessary) EASTERN CONFERENCE Chicago 1, Indiana 0 Saturday, April 16: Chicago 104, Indiana 99 Monday, April 18: Indiana at Chicago, late Thursday, April 21: Chicago at Indiana, 4 p.m. Saturday, April 23: Chicago at Indiana, 11:30 a.m. x-Tuesday, April 26: Indiana at Chicago, TBD x-Thursday, April 28: Chicago at Indiana, TBD x-Saturday, April 30: Indiana at Chicago, TBD Miami 2, Philadelphia 0 Saturday, April 16: Miami 97, Philadelphia 89 Monday, April 18: Miami 94, Philadelphia 73 Thursday, April 21: Miami at Philadelphia, 5 p.m. Sunday, April 24: Miami at Philadelphia, 10 a.m. x-Wednesday, April 27: Philadelphia at Miami, TBD x-Friday, April 29: Miami at Philadelphia, TBD x-Sunday, May 1: Philadelphia at Miami, TBD Boston 1, New York 0 Sunday, April 17: Boston 87, New York 85 Tuesday, April 19: New York at Boston, 4 p.m. Friday, April 22: Boston at New York, 4 p.m. Sunday, April 24: Boston at New York, 12:30 p.m. x-Tuesday, April 26: New York at Boston, TBD x-Friday, April 29: Boston at New York, TBD x-Sunday, May 1: New York at Boston, TBD Atlanta 1, Orlando 0 Saturday, April 16: Atlanta 103, Orlando 93 Tuesday, April 19: Atlanta at Orlando, 4:30 p.m. Friday, April 22: Orlando at Atlanta, 8 p.m. Sunday, April 24: Orlando at Atlanta, 4 p.m. x-Tuesday, April 26: Atlanta at Orlando, TBD x-Thursday, April 28: Orlando at Atlanta, TBD x-Saturday, April 30: Atlanta at Orlando, TBD WESTERN CONFERENCE Memphis 1, San Antonio 0 Sunday, April 17: Memphis 101, San Antonio 98 Wednesday, April 20: Memphis at San Antonio, 5:30 p.m. Saturday, April 23: San Antonio at Mem- phis, 4:30 p.m. Monday, April 25: San Antonio at Mem- phis, TBD x-Wednesday, April 27: Memphis at San Antonio, TBD x-Friday, April 29: San Antonio at Mem- phis, TBD x-Sunday, May 1: Memphis at San Anto- nio, TBD New Orleans 1, L.A.

(AP) — Brian Boucher stopped 35 shots as the Flyers new starting goalie in helping Philadelphia grab a first-round playoff series lead with a 4-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Monday night. Danny Briere and Nikolay Zherdev keyed the victory by scoring second-period goals as Philadelphia bounced back with two straight wins after a 1-0 series-opening loss Thursday. Game 4 is at Buffalo on Wednesday. Jeff Carter and Kimmo Timonen, with an empty-net- ter, also scored as the Flyers improved to 6-0-2 in their past eight visits to Buffalo, including the regular season. Drew Stafford and Nathan Gerbe scored in a game the Sabres never led. Buffalo has lost consecutive games for the first time since ending a three-game skid Feb. 23. Bruins 4, Canadiens 2 MONTREAL (AP) — David Krejci and Nathan Hor- ton scored first-period goals to lead Boston over the Montreal Canadiens as the Bruins won on the road after dropping the first two games of their first-round series at home. Tim Thomas stopped 34 shots for Boston and Rich Peverley scored in the second. Chris Kelly scored into an empty net with 25.6 seconds remaining. Bruins captain Zdeno Chara returned to the lineup after missing Saturday night’s 3-2 loss to Montreal after he was hospitalized overnight for dehydration. Andrei Kostitsyn, who also missed Game 2, scored the Canadiens’ first goal with Boston holding a 3-0 lead 7:03 into the middle period. Tomas Plekanec drew Mon- treal within one early in the third. Penguins 3, Lightning 2 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Tyler Kennedy put Pittsburgh ahead early in the third period and Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 25 shots, helping the Penguins hold off the Tampa Bay Lightning. Maxime Talbot and Arron Asham also scored for the Penguins, who took a 2-1 lead in their first-round East- ern Conference best-of-seven playoff series and regained home-ice advantage. Game 4 is Wednesday night in Tampa. Pittsburgh rebounded from a 5-1 home loss in Game 2 despite giving up two more power-play goals to Mar- tin St. Louis. The Lightning star erased a 2-0 deficit by striking late in the opening period, then again early in the third to give Tampa Bay hope of taking control of the series. But Kennedy answered with the go-ahead goal just 31 seconds later.
