Here is the latest Wisconsin sports news from The Associated Press:

CINCINNATI (AP) ? Ryan Ludwick and Brandon Phillips each hit two-run homers Saturday night, powering Cincinnati to a 6-2 victory over the fading Milwaukee Brewers. The NL Central leaders have gone 6-2 against Milwaukee this season. Phillips homered in the eighth off reliever Jose Veras at the Great American Ball Park, dropping the defending division champion Brewers to 9? games out.

DETROIT (AP) ? Rick Porcello pitched brilliantly into the ninth inning, and the Detroit Tigers took first place in the AL Central on Saturday with a 7-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Porcello struck out four with no walks, outdueling Sox pitcher Chris Sale at Comerica Park.

ST. LOUIS (AP) ? Chicago Cubs starter Matt Garza was taken out after working three scoreless innings against the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday with cramping in his right triceps. The injury had prompted speculation that he had been traded. The Cubs didn't reveal the injury until the bottom of the sixth inning in St. Louis, adding that X-rays were negative. In the seventh inning the Cardinals hit seven doubles en route to a 12-0 blowout at Busch Stadium.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ? Mike Lynn, the longtime Minnesota Vikings executive who made the lopsided trade with Dallas for Herschel Walker that ignited the Cowboys dynasty of the Nineties, has died. He was 76. The Vikings confirmed Lynn's death yesterday with a statement on the team website. Lynn served as the team's general manager from 1975 to 1990.
