STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Joe Paterno has been released from hospital and has shown improvement after being treated for lung cancer, a person close to the former Penn State coachs family said Monday. Paternos tumour was showing substantial reduction following radiation and chemotherapy, according to the person who spoke on condition of anonymity Monday to The Associated Press due to the familys desire for privacy. He was released Sunday. Paterno, who turns 85 on Wednesday, was admitted last week after breaking his pelvis again in a fall at home. Doctors kept him hospitalized to make it easier to administer cancer treatments while he recovered from the fracture. He initially injured his pelvis and right shoulder in August after getting blindsided accidentally by a receiver during pre-season practice. The injuries kept Paterno in the press box most of the season before trustees fired him Nov. 9 in the aftermath of child sex abuse charges against retired assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Paterno testified before a grand jury investigating Sandusky, but prosecutors have said he is not a target of the investigation. Sandusky, who has pleaded not guilty, is awaiting trial. Paterno hasnt spoken publicly since his firing. He was diagnosed with cancer several days later during a follow-up visit to the doctor for a bronchial illness, his family has said. The person close to the family told the AP on Monday that Paterno was in great spirits while continuing to fight the illness. Earlier Monday, Penn State fullback Michael Zordich said a few players visited Paterno in recent weeks. "Hes a strong person, a fighter, a leader," Zordich said before practice. "Hes been going through a lot right now ... Were giving him space, and well go see him when can. Hopefully we can get there soon." Longtime defensive co-ordinator Tom Bradley said he has not spoken with Paterno since the day after he was appointed the interim head coach. Bradley, who is applying for the job permanently, gets updates from Paternos son, quarterback coach Jay Paterno. "I know what (Joe Paterno) is going to say. Tom, youre wasting your time. You know what youve got to do," Bradley said Monday. Paterno has called the allegations against Sandusky troubling and urged the public to let the legal process unfold. He initially announced his retirement taking effect at the end of the season. In his retirement statement, Paterno called the scandal "one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more." The trustees fired him anyway, about 12 hours later. The Nittany Lions head coach for 46 seasons, Paterno amassed 409 career victories -- a Division I record. ESPN, citing an anonymous source, first reported Paternos release.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- With another bountiful barrage of homers, the Texas Rangers matched a franchise record with their 95th victory in the penultimate game of the regular season. Ian Kinsler thinks the Rangers will have to break that record to make sure they will start the playoffs at home this weekend. Adrian Beltre, Mike Napoli and Nelson Cruz hit consecutive homers in the fifth inning, and the surging Rangers stayed on track for homefield advantage in the AL division series with a 10-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night. The Rangers (95-66) have won five straight and nine of 10 while holding off Detroit (94-67), which beat Cleveland 9-6, for the ALs second-best record. With five homers and 15 hits against a series of Angels pitchers who sometimes appeared to be throwing batting practice, Texas matched the club record for victories set in 1999 -- but nobody in the defending AL champions clubhouse is thinking about the past with such a bright future. "My thoughts are, Lets get one more and beat it," said Kinsler, who homered and had three hits while joining the 30-30 club for the second time. If Texas wins Wednesdays season finale or if the Tigers lose to the Indians, the Rangers will host the ALs wild-card winner on Friday. Detroit holds the tiebreaker if the clubs finish even, which would leave the Rangers opening the playoffs at Yankee Stadium. "Wed rather play the first two games at home than on the road," said Napoli, who hit two homers against his former teammates. "We feel comfortable playing anywhere, but to sleep in our own beds and have your normal routine feels great." A day after the AL West champion Rangers eliminated the Angels from the wild-card race, Colby Lewis (14-10) pitched six innings of three-hit ball, adding one more victory to his career-best total while throwing just 76 pitches in his final tuneup before the post-season. Lewis retired the final 11 batters he faced after Peter Bourjos RBI triple in the third inning. The Rangers have improved their record in four straight seasons under manager Ron Washington, but he betrayed no pride in matching the Texas wins mark set by Johnny Oates club 12 years earlier. "Weve been playing good baseball all year," Washington said. "Thats how you get those wins. It means weve been consistent. ... If we go out there (Wednesday) and win the ballgame, we know were going home. Thats our intention. Of course we want to play in front of our home fans. Well show up and strap it on, go out there for nine, and see what happens." Angels manager Mike Scioscia provided a boost to the Rangers homefield hopes when he scratched Ervin Santana and Jered Weaver from their finall starts of the season, instead sending out two rookies -- Tyler Chatwood and Garrett Richards -- in Los Angeles final two games.dddddddddddd "With only a couple of games left, I dont know if we were going to see much more than we already know about these young guys," Scioscia said. "But its good to get them out there and let them get some get some energy out." Kinsler connected for his 32nd homer during the Rangers four-run third inning against Chatwood (6-11). Kinsler stole his 30th base in the fourth inning, earning just the third 30-30 season in club history -- and a standing ovation from his teammates, who exuberantly crowded the dugout rail. Beltre had three hits and homered in his fourth straight game, leading off the fifth with his 32nd. The slugging third baseman is propelling the defending AL champions into the post-season with a dynamite September, collecting 12 homers and 24 RBIs in the past 17 games. The Angels have lost five of six and eight of 12 while missing the post-season for just the fourth time in 10 years. Howie Kendrick, the Angels All-Star second baseman, also sprained his left wrist in the fifth inning while stopping a grounder. Chatwood flopped in the final start of the 21-year-old right-handers up-and-down rookie season, yielding seven hits and four runs while failing to get out of the third inning. Jerome Williams wasnt much better on short rest, giving up a run in the fourth and three straight homers to open the fifth. "I learned what I need to work on and what I need to keep building on," Chatwood said. "I didnt do a very good job of getting ahead, and when I was ahead, I made pitches and they hit them. Thats a pretty good lineup and a pretty deep one, top to bottom." After Beltres blast leading off the fifth, Napoli hit his career-high 27th homer, and Cruz followed with his 29th. Napoli added a two-run shot in the seventh. The Angels traded Napoli to Toronto in the off-season, but none of his three main replacements in Los Angeles has more than six homers or an average above .210. NOTES: Angels OF Jeremy Moore got his first major league hit in the seventh inning when his line drive skipped off the glove of Michael Young, who started at shortstop for the first time since 2008 to freshen his skills for the post-season. Young, who won a Gold Glove at shortstop that season before yielding the position to Elvis Andrus, went 2 for 5 with an RBI single. ... Gil Velasquez had a pinch-hit single in the seventh for Los Angeles and another single in the ninth, getting the second and third hits of his major league career. Velasquez got his first with Boston back in 2008, but hadnt played in the majors since May 16, 2009. ' ' '
