Saturday Sports Update
Top: The running game and the pass rush were two areas of focus for the Buffalo Bills in their preseason opener against the Detroit Lions on Friday. Matt Breida (left) carried the ball 10 times for the Bills and accounted for 27 of the team's 114 rushing yards on the night. Meanwhile, the defense recorded four sacks; one of them was by 1st-round draft pick Greg Rousseau on the game's third play. The Bills defeated the Lions 16-15. Photos by the Buffalo Bills

DeGrom is 7-2 with an ERA of 1.08 this season, but hasn't pitched since July 7th due to his injury. The Mets are in a tight race in the National League East, a half-game behind the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies. Photo by USA Today
