For El SuTebow... "Manning looks good in Broncos' first OTA workout"

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- His passes were hitting receivers in stride and right between the numbers, not skipping off the ground or whizzing behind their heads like so many of Tim Tebow's.

The Denver Broncos got their first real taste of Peyton Manning on Monday with a spirited, fast-paced workout, the four-time MVP's first full practice in more than 16 months.

"It felt good to be out there. It's been a while for me," Manning said. "It's been about a year and a-half since I've been in uniform, been in an organized practice. So, it felt good to be out there. And it will be a good film to study."

Monday also was the first chance for the media to get a look at the progress Manning has made since a series of neck operations sidelined him all of last season and led to his release from the Indianapolis Colts.

I know. I saw the pictures. I just hope that his abilities are better than his physique (compared to the former St. Tim).

Stanton's slam lifts Marlins past Rockies, 7-4

<snip>

"With one swing, Giancarlo Stanton knocked out lights on the scoreboard, spoiled Jamie Moyer's first look at Marlins Park and put Miami on top to stay..

Stanton hit a grand slam off Moyer to cap a five-run fourth inning, Mark Buehrle was dominant after a shaky first and the Marlins stayed hot by beating the Colorado Rockies 7-4 on Monday night.

''Maybe the farthest. I don't know about the hardest,'' Stanton said when asked how his 438-foot shot compared to the other eight homers he's hit this season. ''But that was pretty good.''

Austin Kearns tied a career-best with four hits for the Marlins, whose 15-5 record in May leads the majors."

"Ricky Nolasco gave up three runs in the first inning, then settled down to set a franchise record for career victories when the Miami Marlins rallied past the Colorado Rockies for the second night in a row Tuesday, 7-6.

Nolasco (5-2) broke a tie in the third with a two-run double off Juan Nicasio (2-2) that put the Marlins ahead to stay. On his third try, the right-hander became the Marlins' sole leader in career wins with a record of 69-53.

He had been tied with Dontrelle Willis for the most victories.

Nolasco gave up four runs in six innings against the Rockies (15-27), who have lost six straight and are off to their worst start since 1995.

The Marlins (24-19) tied the franchise record for victories in May. Their 16-5 record this month is the best in the majors, and they're five games above .500 for the first time this season."
