ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Texas Rangers and Houston Astros open up the final month of the season faithful to the company line -- one game, one series at a time -- but with plenty of ambition. Maillot Stephen Curry Pas Cher .The Rangers will be difficult to catch in the AL West with an 8.5-game lead over the Astros with 28 games to play. Winning two of three against Houston this weekend in a series at Globe Life Park in Arlington will all but actually clinch the division save for a very rare and unforeseen series of events. Texas would then have the luxury of resting key pieces and setting up its rotation for the divisional round of the AL playoffs.However, if the Astros, winners of 10 of their last 12 games, can take two or even sweep, the division might yet have some intrigue left.After Houston, the Rangers go on the road for four at Seattle, three against the Angels and three at Houston.Theres no doubt the next 10 days or so will be a challenge for us to get some separation from the guys behind us, Texas third baseman Adrian Beltre said. The one coming up with Houston will be important for us to create some separation so we can get some rest.Houston enters one game back in the AL wild-card standings. Theyll need to go 15-14 in their final 29 to match the 86-win plateau they hit in 2015 and will likely need to do that to have a chance at the wild card in 2016.The Astros first order of business is solving the Rangers riddle. Texas is 11-2 against Houston this year.But the schedule doesnt get any easier.After the Texas series are four games against Cleveland on the road and three with the Cubs at Minute Maid Park.Trust me, Id love to rattle off a ton of wins and clinch a week in advance and set up your rotation and set up everything, but it doesnt seem like its going to play out that way for too many teams in the game, manager A.J. Hinch said. The scoreboard is right in front of us (in left field at Minute Maid Park), but the more you scoreboard watch, the more youre taking your attention away from beating the team thats on the field in front of you.In game one on Friday, the Astros will throw right-hander Doug Fister (12-9, 3.60 ERA) against Texas righty A.J. Griffin (6-3, 4.39).Fister has battled consistency in the second half, going 4-6 with a 4.09 ERA in 12 starts since June 26. He had success against the Rangers in his last start against them on Aug. 6, holding Texas to one run in six innings.Griffin, too, has struggled with consistency since coming off the DL in June. The right-hander has only one quality start since May 2, though it was in his last outing. Griffin threw six scoreless innings in a victory over Cleveland.Texas enters having won five straight and six of seven on its current 10-game homestand.The body of work speaks for itself, manager Jeff Banister said of Texas recent results. We need to play well. Houston is hot right now. We still have some work to do. We need to come back ready to play.

BEREA, Ohio -- An arrest warrant for Josh Gordon was withdrawn after the Cleveland Browns wide receiver complied with a year-old court order to take a DNA test in a paternity suit.The warrant had been issued Aug. 31, after Gordon failed to respond to several subpoenas over the course of a year demanding he take the test.In a statement, Gordons attorneys said he was unaware until noon Wednesday that he had been requested to take the test.Mr. Gordon immediately made himself available to the Court when he was informed that his presence had been previously required, attorneys Kevin Spellacy and Walter Edwards wrote in a statement released by the Browns. He attended court [Wednesday] and a hearing was held.Joseph Stafford, the attorney for the mother, said Wednesday that the DNA test took place in the afternoon. A hearing has been set for Nov. 8. Stafford said that given the efforts made to get in touch with Gordon and to contact people close to him -- including the team, the NFL and Gordons agent -- it is highly unlikely Gordon did not know about the paternity suit before today.Gordon was suspended for the entire 2015 season for violations of the NFLs substance abuse policies. He was reinstated conditionally on July 25 by commissioner Roger Goodell, though Gordon was also suspended for the first four games of the 2016 season.An NFL spokesman said Wednesday that the warrant would not have any effect on Gordons conditional reinstatement. Gordon was in the team facility on Wednesday, but because he is suspended, he is not permitted to talk to the media. In July 2015, Christina Lockhart from Maple Heights, Ohio, filed a paternity suit stating that Gordon was the father of her daughter, who is now 11 year old. Maillot Kevin Durant Warriors. The order sought child support.Gordon was ordered to provide a DNA sample and had until Sept. 25, 2015, to do so. The complaint stated that nobody other than Gordon was presumed to be the father. It also stated the woman is on welfare and needs child support from Gordon.Numerous subpoenas were sent to Gordon in Los Angeles and to several different addresses in Cleveland, but he never responded, according to court documents. Subpoenas also went to numerous people who know Gordon well, Stafford said.Gordon was due to appear at a hearing in Cleveland on Aug. 31, but he was not present, which led to the warrant.The NFL suspended Gordon for the 2015 season for violations of the leagues substance abuse policies. He also was suspended 10 games in 2014 and two games in 2013.The Browns have said that Gordons return to the team is proceeding appropriately.He still is doing well, in my opinion, Browns coach Hue Jackson said Wednesday. I cant tell you about everything that goes on outside of this building -- but I know in this building, in our meetings with me, with our coaches, with the players, he has been outstanding. Thats what I have to judge on.Now well find out about this other part and know a little bit more about it as we move forward. I have nothing but great things to say about Josh.Jackson said he did not have many details about the arrest warrant.So for now, he said, All I can do is support, and lets make sure we do the right thing, whatever that is pertaining to the situation. Hopefully, this will be wrapped up sooner rather than later.
