Apparent Break in Kaufman County Murder Case

KAUFMAN — Investigators working on the murder case against a former Kaufman County justice of the peace have apparently made an important connection. Sources say ballistics experts have been able to match shell casings found at the home of former DA Mike McLelland to unfired bullets found in the storage locker Eric Williams rented in Seagoville. Ballistics expert Daniel Jackson says, “It sounds like it’s entirely plausible that unfired cartridges that were cycled through the weapon were compared microscopically by firearms examiners.” Microscopic scratches help investigators match bullets. Williams (pictured) and his wife are being held on capital murder charges for the deaths of McLelland, his wife, and Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse.

Fire Destroys Mobile Home near Lakeport

LAKEPORT — Fire destroyed a mobile home Tuesday morning near Lakeport. KETK and the Longview News-Journal report that firefighters from the Lakeport and Elderville volunteer fire departments responded to the blaze sometime around 7 a.m. off Texas 149. Lakeport Volunteer Fire Department Chief Pat Owens said the building had burned to the ground when firefighters arrived. The Gregg County Fire Marshal is investigating.

Tyler Police Gear Up for Memorial Day Holiday

TYLER — Tyler police are again preparing for a couple of safety efforts set for the Memorial Day holiday: Click It or Ticket and the “No Refusal” DWI campaign. Officers will be stopping violators for not wearing their seat belts from May 20 through June 2. Texas law requires every person sitting in the front or rear seat of a vehicle to wear a safety belt. A child less than eight years old and less than four feet, nine inches tall must be secured in a child safety seat. Drivers can be stopped and ticketed for a safety belt violation if they, or any of their passengers under the age of 15, are not buckled up or properly restrained. Traffic fines for failing to use a seat belt or secure a child in a safety seat can run from $25 to $200, plus court costs. (more…)

Texas Mother Worried about Torture, Traffickers

LUBBOCK (AP) – Billie Dunn feared the worst while her teenage daughter was missing for more than two years. During a phone interview Tuesday, Dunn said she imagined 13-year-old Hailey Dunn being tortured or that she’d fallen victim to human traffickers. But possibly the most painful part was thinking of Hailey wondering why her mother and father hadn’t found her. Remains found at a West Texas lake in March were identified last month as those of Hailey. No arrests have been made.

Ban on Soda in Elementary, Middle Schools Advances

AUSTIN (AP) – A proposed ban on sales of sugary sodas in public elementary and junior high schools is on its way to the governor. In a 24-6 vote on Tuesday, the Senate approved a bill intended to help the state’s youngest students develop nutritious drinking habits. It would allow schools to sell only water, low-fat milk and pure juice.

Divorce Clause Keeps Lesbians from Living Together

McKINNEY (AP) – A judge has ruled that a North Texas lesbian couple can’t live together because of a morality clause in the divorce papers of one of the women. The clause is common in divorce cases in Texas and other states. It prevents a divorced parent from having a romantic partner spend the night while children are in the home. If the couple marries, they can get out from under the legal provision, but that is not an option for gay couples in Texas.

Tar Balls Cleaned Up at Galveston

GALVESTON (AP) – State officials say a very minor oil spill has led to tar balls washing up on more than 2 miles of Galveston beaches. The wet, oily substance found mostly embedded in seaweed began turning up Monday scattered along beaches on the west end of Galveston. General Land Office spokesman Jim Suydam says the source has not been determined. He says no additional tar balls were reported Tuesday and cleanup was nearly complete.

Texas District that Axed Sports Gets New Life

KINGSVILLE (AP) – A South Texas school district that shut down its sports programs amid years of academic struggles has been granted approval by the state to remain open.

Cowboys sign fourth-round pick Webb

By Calvin Watkins & Todd Archer | ESPNDallas.com

The Dallas Cowboys signed fourth-round pick B.W. Webb to a four-year contract Tuesday. The deal is worth $2.503 million and includes a signing bonus of $443,380.

The Cowboys value Webb’s ability to play the slot and both corner spots. Webb racked up 11 interceptions while starting a school-record 48 games at William & Mary.

So far the Cowboys have signed three of their seven draft picks.

Cabrera, Fister lead Tigers over hapless Astros

By the time Miguel Cabrera’s homer sailed deep into the seats in left field, the Detroit Tigers were already in control — thanks to some unexpected contributions from the bottom of their batting order.

Don Kelly and Ramon Santiago drove in a run each during a two-out rally in the fifth inning, and the Tigers went on to beat the Houston Astros 6-2 on Tuesday night. Detroit scored three runs in the fifth and two in the sixth before Cabrera gave the Tigers their final run with a solo shot in the seventh.

Kelly entered the game with one RBI, and Santiago didn’t have any.

“It’s good for the team,” Kelly said. “All you want to do is win, and any way you can help out is big.”

Doug Fister (5-1) allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings. He struck out seven without a walk.

Lucas Harrell (3-4) allowed five runs and seven hits in five-plus innings. The Astros have lost six straight and 16 of 19.

Harrell was impressive for the first four innings but couldn’t hold off the Tigers, even on a night when Santiago was filling in for shortstop Jhonny Peralta and Kelly was in center field in place of injured Austin Jackson.

Kelly was hitting .200 entering the game, but his two-out RBI single in the fifth got the Tigers on the scoreboard. Santiago, who was hitting .154 coming in, drove in Kelly with a tying double.

“You don’t want to be the last out. You want to keep going,” Santiago said. “Those RBIs with two outs, they are big.”

Andy Dirks put Detroit ahead 3-2 with a double to right-center that bounced over the tallest section of the Comerica Park wall, scoring Santiago.

“We’re trying some new things with our defense, and I thought they worked against me tonight,” Harrell said. “The ball that Dirks hit was up there forever, and I thought someone might have caught that one. He hit it hard, and that’s my fault, but I was hoping someone would get there.”

The Tigers added two more runs in the sixth on an RBI single by Victor Martinez and a wild pitch by reliever Travis Blackley that allowed Prince Fielder to score.

There was no doubt about Cabrera’s eighth homer of the year. J.D. Martinez, the left fielder, stared into the crowd for several seconds in apparent disbelief after the ball cleared the fence with plenty of room to spare.

Detroit has won all six matchups with the Astros this season, by a combined 50-12. This one was more competitive than Harrell’s previous start against the Tigers, which Detroit won 17-2 earlier this month.

Houston was without standout second baseman Jose Altuve, who went on the bereavement list Tuesday following the death of his grandmother.

The Astros had turned a major league-high 52 double plays entering Tuesday’s game, and they added two more to that total in the first four innings. Houston took the lead in the second when J.D. Martinez hit an RBI double and Jimmy Paredes added a sacrifice fly.

But Fister retired 12 in a row after a third-inning single by Jake Elmore. He gave up a double to J.D. Martinez in the seventh but struck out the next two hitters to finish his night on a high note.

“We have spurts where we have good at-bats, but there are other times where we miss the pitch we need to hit, or when we are taking the pitches we need to attack,” Astros manager Bo Porter said. “The key to making it in this league is figuring out the pitchers and how they are trying to get you out. You need to be able to adjust to the way they are attacking you, and we aren’t there yet.”

Game notes
Houston is 10-30, the worst start by a major league team since Kansas City was also 10-30 en route to a 100-loss season in 2006, according to STATS. … The Tigers go for a three-game sweep Wednesday. Detroit’s Max Scherzer (5-0) takes the mound against Houston’s Dallas Keuchel (0-1).

Colon corrals Rangers as A’s ease to victory

Bartolo Colon celebrated his 40th birthday a few days early with something he’s enjoyed quite a few times over the years: a win over the Texas Rangers.

Seth Smith homered and scored three times, Colon pitched seven strong innings for his first victory in nearly a month and the Oakland Athletics beat the Texas Rangers 9-2 on Monday night.

Colon, who turns 40 on Friday, gave up two runs on six hits and struck out three. It was the first win for Colon (4-2) since April 23 at Boston, and he joined Bert Blyleven, Dennis Leonard and Jack Morris as the pitchers with the most wins over the Rangers at 19.

“I like to pitch here,” Colon, who has 175 wins in 16 seasons, said through a translator. “I don’t know why.”

Coco Crisp got three hits, and had the first of three straight Oakland doubles in a four-run fifth inning that broke a 1-1 tie. He scored when Yoenis Cespedes hit a line drive just over Adrian Beltre’s head with the third baseman playing in, and Cespedes came home on Brandon Moss’ line drive to the wall in right.

Josh Lindblom (0-1) lost in his 2013 debut and first major league start.

Lindblom was replaced by left-hander Joseph Ortiz after striking out Josh Donaldson in the fourth. Smith hit an RBI single and went to second when left fielder David Murphy dropped the ball trying to make a throw home. The error allowed Smith to score on a single by Chris Young for a 5-1 Oakland lead.

“The first four innings I was able to make pitches and work myself out of jams,” Lindblom said. “That fifth inning, I couldn’t make the pitch.”

Smith’s opposite-field homer to left for a 1-0 lead in the second was the 13th straight solo homer for the A’s, tying a franchise record set in 2007. Jed Lowrie had three hits, including one of five doubles for Oakland.

The two outs Smith made were with the bases loaded as the A’s stranded a season-high 15. Texas pitchers walked a season-high eight, although two were intentional.

Even Colon had problems with walks — by his standards. He matched his season total by walking Geovany Soto twice.

“Those don’t happen too often,” A’s manager Bob Melvin said.

Top Texas prospect Jurickson Profar made his first appearance in the majors this year at second base and was immediately put to the test by Crisp, who had infield hits his first two times up despite Profar’s best efforts. The 20-year-old went far to his left to grab the first one and fielded the next almost behind the bag at second, but Crisp beat the throw both times.

Profar drove in both Texas runs without a hit, scoring Soto with a grounder in the third and Mitch Moreland with a sacrifice fly in the fifth.

“The first one, we needed a groundball, he got the groundball,” Rangers manager Ron Washington said. “He handled his at-bats well tonight. We scored two runs, he got both of them.”

With Ian Kinsler on the disabled list because of bruised ribs, Profar is back with the Rangers after homering in his first big league at-bat as a 19-year-old last year.

“I’m feeling more comfortable in the box and on the field,” said Profar, who hit .424 during an eight-game hitting streak that included the first multihomer game of his career before getting called up from Triple-A Round Rock. “It starts from there.”

Colon was helped by three double plays in the first four innings, including a pair started by Moss at first base when he snagged hard grounders from Lance Berkman and Moreland, stepped on the bag and got the runners trying to go to second. He came out after throwing 95 pitches.

“I mean, he’s 40 and we’d like to try to get him through a season,” Melvin said. “So anything over 100 for me is starting to get a little uncomfortable for me. To give us seven, just short of 100, is terrific.”

Lindblom, who came to Texas as a reliever in the offseason trade that sent franchise hits leader Michael Young to Philadelphia, gave up seven hits and four runs in 4 2/3 innings filling in for Alexi Ogando, who’s on the disabled list with right biceps tendinitis.

The 25-year-old had 101 relief appearances over two seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Phillies but struggled in the Texas bullpen during spring training. The Rangers decided to try him as a starter at Round Rock, where he was 4-0 with a 2.08 ERA.

“Fastball command was a little off today,” Lindblom said. “I wasn’t able to command my heater in and out, which has kind of been my staple all year.”

Game notes

Rangers C A.J. Pierzynski (strained oblique) was the designated hitter in the final game of a two-game rehabilitation stint at Double-A Frisco on Monday. He went 1 for 3 with a single and is expected back in the Texas lineup Tuesday, when he’s eligible to come off the disabled list. … Athletics RHP Chris Resop cleared waivers and was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento. Oakland designated him for assignment Friday.

Rangers activate Pierzynski

The Texas Rangers activated catcher A.J. Pierzynski from the 15-day disabled list following Monday’s loss to the Oakland Athletics.

Pierzynski declared himself ready to go for Tuesday’s game against Oakland after the second contest of his rehab stint with Double-A Frisco.

Pierzynski, rehabbing a strained right oblique muscle, was 1-for-3 with an infield single in Monday’s game for the RoughRiders against the San Antonio Missions.

“I thought today would be more of a test,” Pierzynski said Monday. “It was good. I was able to do everything.”

Pierzynski was able to make contact in his at-bats and felt no pain. He ran the bases fine Monday, though it did take him a while to get to first base on his infield hit in the hole at shortstop in the first inning.

“When he hit it, I didn’t think [the shortstop] was going to get to it,” Pierzynski said.

Pierzynski is batting .263 with four home runs and 11 RBIs. He was slumping when he was placed on the DL, striking out four times against Boston in his final game on May 5.

To open a roster spot for Pierzynski, the Rangers optioned pitcher Josh Lindblom to Triple-A Round Rock. Lindblom made his first career start Monday against Oakland, allowing four runs in 4 2/3 innings to record the loss.

Lindblom remains a candidate to start one of the two games in Monday’s doubleheader at Arizona. The 10-day rule that requires players to stay in the minor leagues once they are optioned is suspended for doubleheaders.

The Rangers made another roster move late Monday, optioning catcher Robinson Chirinos to Round Rock. Texas did not make a corresponding move.

Reid Ryan doesn’t expect Nolan to join him

Houston Astros new president and CEO Reid Ryan was on Fitzsimmons & Durrett on ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM on Monday and said there were “some hurt feelings” and “differences of opinions” within the Rangers organization, but believes things are fine now between his father, Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan, and the club. Reid added that he doesn’t expect his father to join him in Houston.

“I think when he decided to stay, he did it for several reasons. One, when you start to build something you want to see it through to the finish line,” Ryan said. “That loss in 2011, it was gut-wrenching on a lot of levels for a lot of people in the organization. Everybody went away doing everything in their power to try to get back. Getting that close motivates you. He knows how good the team is there and he has a couple of years left on his contract. I think honestly he enjoying what he’s doing. There were some differences of opinions. There were some hurt feelings, a lot of issues that kind of popped up at an inopportune time, but I think all that stuff is water under the bridge and people have been able to repair those relationships.

“I really don’t see him making a change with what he’s doing right now.”

The Oakland Raiders will host the Cowboys in the second preseason game the weekend of Aug. 9-11. The Cowboys will then visit the Arizona Cardinals the weekend of Aug. 16-18.

The first preseason game at Cowboys Stadium will be the weekend of Aug. 23-25 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The finale will most likely be Aug. 29 when the Cowboys host the Houston Texans.

Exact dates and game times haven’t been determined. The Cowboys will open training camp in mid-July in Oxnard, Calif.
