BASEBALLLOS ANGELES -- San Francisco lefty Matt Moore lost his no-hit bid with two outs in the ninth inning on a soft, clean single by Corey Seager, and the Giants beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-0.Moores try ended on his 133rd and final pitch -- he missed most of the last two seasons after Tommy John surgery. He was immediately pulled after Seagers hit plopped onto the grass in shallow right field.Giants center fielder Denard Span sprinted for two outstanding catches, including a leadoff grab in the ninth, to give Moore a chance.Moore earned his first win for the Giants since they got him in a trade with Tampa Bay on Aug. 1.Moore nearly gave San Francisco a major league record five straight years with a no-hitter. And he almost became the first Giants pitcher to no-hit the archrival Dodgers since 1915, when New Yorks Rube Marquard stopped Brooklyn.LOS ANGELES -- The NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers acquired Carlos Ruiz from Philadelphia in a trade of backup catchers, getting a popular player with a world of postseason experience.The Phillies also sent $1 million to the Dodgers for A.J.

However, security video suggested the four actually faced security guards after vandalizing a gas station restroom.NFLSEATTLE -- Three plays were all it took for Dallas to get yet another injury scare surrounding Tony Romo.The quarterback lasted just 90 seconds into the Cowboys 27-17 preseason loss to the Seattle Seahawks before leaving with what appeared at first to be a potentially significant injury, but ended up being minor.Romo was tackled from behind by Seattles Cliff Avril on the third play from scrimmage as Romo scrambled from the pocket. He immediately grabbed at his back, crumpled on the field while trainers sprinted from the Dallas sideline and images of Romos injury problems from last year immediately flashed to mind.Turned out it was all just a scare. Romo walked off the field without assistance, threw passes on the sideline and lobbied for a return to the game.NEW YORK -- Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison and Green Bay Packers defensive players Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers met this week with NFL investigators looking into allegations linking them to performance-enhancing drugs.Matthews and Peppers met with league representatives on Wednesday, while Harrison did so on Thursday, according to the NFL Players Association.Last week, the league threatened Harrison, Matthews, Peppers and free agent Mike Neal with indefinite suspensions if they did not meet with investigators.

Its really about us, Harsin said during his news conference. Weve got a lot to prepare for this week.Recently, the Falcons have given the Broncos fits. Boise State doesnt lose often and rarely to the same team two years in a row. Rarer still, to the same team three straight seasons. Air Force would join Idaho (1982-93) and Nevada (1996-98) as the only teams in Boise States rich history to beat the Broncos in at least three straight years, according to the school.Thats why the Broncos have been eyeing this game all season.We knew we finished with Air Force, knew it was a team we wanted to go play, Harsin said. We get to take action, control what we can control.Air Force coach Troy Calhoun believes this version of Boise State is one of the top teams the Falcons have faced in a while, ranking up there with the 2010 Texas Christian squad led by Andy Dalton, the 2008 Utah team and last years Michigan State squad.This group has every bit of the same makeup, Calhoun said. This is a team thats one of the 10 best teams in college football.Especially with Jeremy McNichols in the backfield. The explosive junior has rushed for 1,575 yards this season and 22 TDs. Hes also caught 32 passes for 450 yards and four scores.Quite frankly, hes one of the guys who should be the four or five contenders for the Heisman Trophy, Calhoun said.Harsin seconds that opinion of McNichols, who largely flies under the radar on the national scene.How is this guy not in the conversation with everybody else? HHarsin lamented.dddddddddddd I dont know what else from an offensive standpoint a guy can do to not have his name thrown in there with all these other backs.To boot, hes on a pretty good football team, too, that has a pretty good record right now.Here are things to know heading into the regular season finale:STOPPING THE OPTION: The Broncos will try to slow down that Air Force run game without junior linebacker Joe Martarano, whos sidelined with a broken leg. That means more responsibilities for linebackers Darren Lee and Blake Whitlock as they try to neutralize an offense that rolled up 607 total yards in a 37-30 win last season.TAKING OFFENSE: A little Mountain West trivia -- the trio of quarterback Brett Rypien, wide receiver Thomas Sperbeck and McNichols are the first from the same team in conference history to turn in consecutive seasons of 3,000 yards passing, 1,000 yards receiving and 1,000 yards rushing, respectively.SENIOR DAY: Calhoun said it seemed like such a short time ago that he was having dinner at the home of Roland Ladipo, trying to recruit him to Air Force. Or chatting on the couch with Weston Steelhammer. They are part of 32 seniors playing their final game at Falcon Stadium.Its a strong group -- the way they approach the practice field, the weight room, meetings, Calhoun said.STEELHAMMER VS. MCNICHOLS: McNichols was the leagues offensive player of the week after rushing for 206 yards and four TDs against UNLV. Steelhammer earned defensive player of the week honors after leading the team with 10 tackles and picking off two passes in a win at San Jose State.SCORING MACHINES: Air Force and Boise State have gone a combined 545 games without being shutout. The last time the Falcons were blanked was Dec. 31, 1992, in a 13-0 loss to Mississippi. For the Broncos, it was Sept. 27, 1997, in a 58-0 loss to Washington State.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
