FRISCO, Texas -- FC Dallas coach Schellas Hyndman said he expects the rest of his teams matches to be tough. Chris Paul Jersey . Saturday was no exception. Michels scored on a penalty kick in the 72nd minute to help FC Dallas salvage a 2-2 draw against the San Jose Earthquakes and take sole possession of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Three red cards in the final 10 minutes also made the match entertaining one, as both teams were keen on earning three points for the final playoff push. "I think that the games are going to get a lot more physical," said Hydnman, whose team snapped an 11-game winless streak Wednesday after tumbling down the table. "I think the games are going to get a little bit more competitive. " Blas Perez also scored for Dallas (9-7-10), which rallied after giving up two goals in the first 16 minutes. Dallas moved into fifth place in the Western Conference, one point ahead of Vancouver. Alan Gordon and Steven Beitashour had the early goals for San Jose (9-10-7), which had won four of its previous five matches. Gordon, making his 100th MLS start of his career, sent home a shot from the centre of the box in the eighth minute after Cato squared the ball to the middle. Eight minutes later, a series of volleys from Gordon and Rafael Baca found defender Beitashour all alone six yards out to pop the ball over the right shoulder of goalkeeper Raul Fernandez. Dallas quickly responded in the 19th minute when Michel served a ball toward the box, which midfielder Je-Vaughn Watson nodded on toward the 6-yard box. Perez won a short race to the ball against goalkeeper Jon Busch to tap the ball into the net with his right foot for his 10th goal of the season. Michel then tied in the second half when he put his left-footed penalty into the upper-left corner. Perez was fouled by Victor Bernardez six yards away from goal to earn the spot kick after defender George John found Perez on a far-post cross to set up the play. "Instead of folding, you fought all the way back and you could have very well won the game," Hyndman said. "I thought we had a very good game outside of the first 15 minutes." Dallas outshot San Jose 17-7, taking all momentum after Michels penalty kick. San Joses Justin Morrow, who entered the game in the 66th minute as a substitute, was given a red card on a tackle from behind on Ramon Nunez in the 81st minute. Four minutes later, both Dallas Kenny Cooper and Bernardez were shown red cards after the Bernardez fouled Cooper, and Cooper retaliated with a shove to the ground and an intimidating hold to the defenders jersey. Cooper and Bernardez have some history. The San Jose defender pushed Cooper out of bounds May 25 in the teams first contest the season, leading to a concussion for Cooper. "Of course were fighting (for a playoff spot)," San Jose defender Clarence Goodson said. "It was a very interesting game." San Jose midfielder Cordell Cato put a shot on target in stoppage time that was tipped over the net by Fernandez. Dallas defender Kellyn Acosta said this game was the most physical he has been a part of. "Their guys are huge )all of them," Acosta said. "They play more of a direct game. They play long balls, so that was a challenge for me." Dallas outshot San Jose 9-3 in the second half.

Scott Kazmir allowed a two-run homer to Jake Smolinski, and shortstop Jed Lowrie made an error that led to a pair of unearned runs as the As lost 6-3 to the last-place Texas Rangers on Tuesday night.

To be honest, Ive never seen anything like that before at a major league level." Oakland made two errors, threw two wild pitches and got another rough outing from Kazmir (14-9) to lose for the 15th time in 22 games. The As remained one game ahead of Kansas City for the top wild-card spot. The Mariners are a game behind the Royals for the second berth. "We just didnt look like we were ready to play tonight for whatever reason defensively," manager Bob Melvin said. "We got beat all the way around, unfortunately. I thought wed come ready to play." Nick Tepesch (5-10) allowed three runs in six innings to beat the As for the first time in six career appearances. The Rangers have won four straight for the first time since April. Neftali Feliz pitched the ninth for his 10th save in 11 chances. Smolinski provided the big offensive blow when he hit his first career home run in his first game against live pitching since breaking a bone in his left foot while fouling off a pitch on July 21. "Thats one I wont forget," Smolinski said. "It was kind of cool. It was nice to get that first hit back out of the way." The Rangers added another run in the fourth when Rougned Odor reached on a grounder to Lowrie and scored from first on Daniel Robertsons single to right. Josh Reddick threw Robertson out at second, but Odor never stopped running on the play and sccored. Austin Rivers Jersey. After the As scored twice in the bottom half, the Rangers broke it open with three runs in the fifth after Lowries miscue.

Athletics: C Stephen Vogt (sprained left ankle) hit before the game and could be available as a pinch-hitter Tuesday. UP NEXT Rangers: LHP Derek Holland (1-0) will make his fourth start of the season.

Athletics: RHP Jeff Samardzija (6-12) will face the Rangers for the first time in his career. MAULING MOSS After going 39 straight games without a homer, Brandon Moss connected for the second straight game for Oakland in one of the few bright spots of the day. "Ive been feeling a lot better lately," Moss said. "Its just a matter of swinging at good pitches and not missing good pitches." STAT OF THE DAY Kazmir retired all three batters he faced with a runner in scoring position and two outs. For the season, Kazmir has allowed just four hits in 56 at-bats (.071 batting average) in those situations. That would beat Jack Morris .082 batting average against in 1987 as the best mark in the majors since at least 1974.
