New York -- New York Mets pitcher Francisco Rodriguez, facing a criminal charge of assault, has been hit with a civil suit stemming from the same incident, officials said.

Rodriguez, 28, accused of viciously beating his girlfriend's father, Carlos Pena, at Citi Field following a Mets loss in August, was served with legal papers for the civil suit as he entered the Queens Supreme Court for a hearing on the criminal case, the New York Daily News reported Thursday.

A lawyer representing Pena says his client has been in and out of doctor's offices to treat injuries to his "head, brain, face, neck and back."

The suit filed in Bronx Supreme Court seeks unspecified damages for the "extreme and outrageous" beating.

Rome -- Paul Biedermann won the 200-meter freestyle at the World Swim Championships in world-record time Tuesday, beating Olympic champion Michael Phelps in the race.

The loss was the first for Phelps in a major individual race since the 2005 World Championships when he lost in the 100-meter butterfly to Ian Crocker.
