ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Darius Slay fought it at first. He didnt want to cry, even though it was one of the more emotionally happy days for the Detroit Lions cornerback. He wanted to hold it in and then, he couldnt anymore.So in the moments after he signed a four-year extension -- sources told ESPNs Adam Schefter the deal is worth $50.2 million -- Slay broke down and cried.I tried to hold the tears in, but I couldnt too long, just because of where I came from, Slay said. Shed a couple tears, talked to [Glover Quin]. Cried on GQs shoulder for a second. Hes seen me as a pup, as a young guy, saw me coming up and doing this right now, give credit to him and [Rashean Mathis].They built me up into the guy I am.After Slay signed the deal, he said he first told Quin. Then he called Mathis, who mentored him during his first three seasons in the league before retiring this offseason. Then Slay had to get back to work, so he didnt even get a chance to call his mom to tell her the news.He figures she knows by now.She probably saw it on ESPN, Slay said. At the end of last season, Slay said he wanted to remain in Detroit for a long time -- part of the reason he wanted to get a deal done before the start of training camp.This offseason, Slay switched agents from the late Eugene Parker to Drew Rosenhaus and made it clear he wanted to get a deal done to stay with the Lions.The deal also marks the Lions first major extension under new general manager Bob Quinn.Slay, 25, emerged as one of the best corners in the NFC last season, when he had 58 tackles and two interceptions. By the end of last season, teams were actively throwing away from Slay as he began to earn a reputation as a shutdown cornerback.By the end of last season, Slay was traveling on the field, covering the opponents top receiver on every play. He came a long way from his rookie season in 2013, when he was benched for free agent Rashean Mathis, who eventually became Slays mentor on and off the field.Slay rebounded to become a starter in 2014 and then an emerging star last season. He also knows that the key to making a bigger name for himself is to create turnovers.Ive got to have interceptions, Slay said in June. I gots to have em. Ill be knocking the ball down, do all that. When its time to make the big plays, turn the ball over, I need to be a turnover machine. Thats what Richard Sherman is. Thats what [Patrick Peterson] is. Thats what all the best ones do; they just turn the ball over.Slay has four career interceptions and has focused on his hands this offseason, often catching balls off the JUGS machine after practices and working on catching the ball whenever he has some downtime.It was something that we wanted to get done as soon as possible, ideally before training camp started, said Lions team president Rod Wood. Im really, really glad that it worked out. A lot of people worked really hard on it from our side and Darius side, and Im glad it got done.Wood said thats the plan, in terms of re-signing their own guys to stick around long-term after building through the draft. He said its a lot easier when you know the guy.After losing Ndamukong Suh in free agency in 2015 and having Calvin Johnson retire this year, Wood said there was no added pressure to make sure Slays contract was done well before he would reach free agency, but that Slay did earn his contract and the team is glad the extension is done.

MILWAUKEE -- For one night, Homer Bailey looked as hed never left.Bailey struck out 11 in six scoreless innings in his third game back from Tommy John surgery in the Cincinnati Reds 7-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night.That was fun for me to watch, Reds manager Bryan Price said. It looked like the Homer Bailey that we knew before the injury.Bailey (2-1) flashed all the abilities -- and all of the pitches -- that landed him a $105 million, six-year contract in 2014.The right-hander was especially dominant against the top of Milwaukees order of Jonathan Villar, promising rookie Orlando Arcia and Ryan Braun. The trio combined to go 0 for 9 with seven strikeouts against Bailey.Still, he had to lobby Price and pitching coach Mack Jenkins to go back in before the sixth, where he struck out the side to finish his night.Mack has known Homer from the time he (first) signed in 2004 and Ive known Homer since 2010. So theres a lot of familiarity with each other, Price said. We have a lot of faith in Homer.Bailey said the feeling is mutual.I know where his head and his heart are at, Bailey said. I have so much trust with those guys, I dont want to know. I just want to pitch. When I get out, I get out. When Im out there, Im out there.Adam Duvall hit his 27th home run and Billy Hamilton stole three bases to push his major league-leading total to 51.NELSON STRUGGLESMilwaukee starter Jimmy Nelson (6-12) labored through five innings, allowing three runs off six hits and three walks.Other than the Duvall homer, there wasnt a ton of hard contact. Thats where Jimmys at, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. Thats why being in the strike zone, being around the strike zone with close misses is so important.ddddddddddddExpected to be a key contributor in Milwaukees rotation, Nelson hasnt been reliable since May. After getting the first two outs of the game, he loaded the bases on a walk, a hit batter and a single before walking in a run.It wouldnt get much better from there. Duvall, Cincinnatis All-Star left fielder, hit a solo homer off Nelson in third and the Reds pounced on Milwaukees bullpen, plating four runs in the seventh.Ramon Flores hit a solo shot in the eighth, and Manny Pina hit a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth for the Brewers.MAN OF STEALHamilton stole bases on back-to-back pitches in the second and swiped his 51st base in the fourth, but was caught stealing later in the inning on a nice pickoff play by Nelson. Hamilton has 12 steals in his last five games.OFFENSE EVAPORATESThe Brewers didnt score until the eighth after they became the eighth team since 1961 to score in every inning they hit in in an 11-3 victory over Atlanta on Thursday.COUNSELL EJECTEDCounsell was ejected by plate umpire Bill Miller before the eighth.We had a little disagreement about balls and strikes, Counsell said.TRAINERS ROOMReds: Both Scott Schebler (calf) and Brandon Phillips (quad) returned to the lineup after both left Tuesdays win over the Cardinals. Cincinnati had a day off on Thursday.UP NEXTReds: Dan Straily (7-6, 3.76 ERA) is 3-0 with a 1.93 ERA in his last five starts for Cincinnati, which is 16-10 since the All-Star break.BREWERS: Milwaukee sends Zach Davies (9-4, 3.58) to the mound. Davies is 9-1 with a 2.92 ERA in his last 17 starts. ' ' '
