Leading Off

Bursting the Bubbly
To celebrate her first IndyCar victory—and the first by a woman driver—Danica Patrick held a champagne spray-off with runner-up Helio Castroneves (off camera) after the Indy Japan 300 in Motegi, Japan, on Sunday. The winner's trophy (inset) was just her size.

Supermanu
The Spurs' Manu Ginóbili (20) banked in a shot while flying away from the Suns' Raja Bell to give San Antonio a 117--115 double-overtime victory on Saturday in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series. Ginóbili finished with 24 points.

No-Look Catch
Astros backstop Humberto Quintero had his eyes on the Phillies' Pat Burrell instead of the ball, but he still caught the throw home and tagged out the runner during Houston's 10--2 loss at Philadelphia last Thursday.
