ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - The Detroit Tigers have topped the Texas Rangers in a matchup of division leaders. Miguel Cabrera went 3 for 4, including a go-ahead double. Rick Porcello allowed one run in 5 2-3 innings in the 2-1 win. The Tigers remain tied with Cleveland, while Texas leads the West alone.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Shoddy defense has cost the Houston Astros in an interleague matchup against a former division foe. Jimmy Paredes dropped Russell Martin's bases-loaded fly ball after a collision - a second missed catch by a Houston right fielder. The Pittsburgh Pirates rallied for a 5-4 win.

IRVING, Texas (AP) - Right tackle Doug Free is returning to the Dallas Cowboys for significantly less money. The team has restructured his contract, and he'll make $3.5 million this year instead of $7 million. He'd risked being cut if he'd rejected a salary reduction after struggling last year.

IRVING, Texas (AP) - Keegan Bradley has a three-stroke lead after two rounds in the Byron Nelson Championship. He shot a 1-under 69 yesterday, a round that started and ending with bogeys. Tom Gillis and Sang-Moon Bae are tied for second.
