New York, NY (Sports Network) - Philadelphia Phillies closer Brad Lidge has been named the winner of the "DHL Presents the Major League Baseball Delivery Man of the Year Award. Hakeem Nicks Youth Jersey." This award recognizes the most outstanding relief pitcher of the season as voted on by the fans. The 31-year-old Lidge converted all 41 save opportunities this season, and was 2-0 with a 1.95 earned run average in 72 outings. He anchored a Phillies bullpen which went 79-0 when leading after eight innings during the regular season. A two-time All-Star, Lidge also received a lucrative contract extension this season. Philadelphia signed the right-hander to deal worth $37.5 million over the next three years with a club option for 2012. In recognition of this award, DHL will donate $10,000 to benefit the Phillies RBI/Rookie League program, in Lidges name. Lidge was acquired from Houston last November along with utility player Eric Bruntlett for outfielder Michael Bourn, pitcher Geoff Geary and minor-league third baseman Mike Costanzo.

Super Bowl Giants Jersey. Prince Fielder had a key two-run single in the seventh to tie the game. Ryan Braun went 2-for-4 with a triple, a run scored, and an RBI for the Brewers, who have won eight of their last nine games.

Victory at Villa Park saw Martin ONeills men win the tie 7-4 on aggregate and they will now face either Manchester City or Manchester United in the final. But his prematch claim this was the best Villa team their supporters had seen in 20 years looked hollow as a double from Nikola Kalinic put fellow Premier League side Rovers 2-0 up.

J.R. Smith scored 12 of his 19 points in the final stanza, which Denver won, 37-22. Chauncey Billups chipped in 21 points, and Nene had 10 points and nine boards for the Nuggets, who rebounded from a loss to the Clippers on Friday. "It was a tough win for us...coming off a tough, tough loss," Billups said. "We were having some carryover from the tough loss, then we were able to take control of the game and really rout that team." Derrick Rose posted 28 points for the Bulls, who received a 22-point effort from Luol Deng. Joakim Noah logged 10 points and eight rebounds in the loss, the clubs second straight. "I thought that we had this game. We had a big lead early," Rose said. "Theyre a good team, and some of their key players stepped up and made big shots for them." Smith drilled a three-pointer late in the third quarter to give Denver a 75-71 cushion heading to the fourth. Smitth hit two more trifectas in the early going of the fourth, with the latter increasing the cushion to 89-77 with a little over eight minutes left. Red Ahmad Bradshaw Jersey Anthony later hit consecutive buckets and assisted on two dunks to Smith and Chris Andersen during a 10-2 run. Andersens slam made it 99-81 near the five-minute mark, and nine straight Denver points a little later essentially sealed the outcome. An early 10-0 run by Chicago paced the club to a 27-14 lead after the first quarter. Denver hit just four field goals in the opening frame but got back into the game with a 13-3 run -- aided by seven points from Billups -- late in the second stanza. Anthony ended the rally with 16-footer to cut the deficit to 48-45. The hosts still were behind, 52-49, at halftime, but back-to-back Anthony buckets early in the third gave the Nuggets a one-point lead, 55-54. Game Notes: Denver is a perfect 5-0 as the host this season and has won 10 of its past 11 home games against Chicago....Kenyon Martin grabbed 11 rebounds to go with eight points for Denver...Taj Gibson ended with 12 rebounds and nine points for the Bulls.
