KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Yankees appeared to be in sell-off mode at the non-waiver trading deadline, sending away starter Ivan Nova and top relievers Aroldis Chapman and Andrew Miller in what looked like a nod to the future.Turns out the future may have been a month away.The Yankees beat the Kansas City Royals 5-4 in 13 innings Wednesday night, their second straight extra-inning win against the reigning World Series champs. It capped a strong August for the Yankees that left them just 2 1/2 games out of the second AL wild-card spot.We went through the trade deadline and I still felt we could win in here and these guys are showing it, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Theres a toughness in there and these guys really want it.Royals reliever Chris Young (3-9) gave up a single to Didi Gregorius and a double to Starlin Castro to lead off the decisive 13th inning. Matt Strahm came in against Brian McCann for a lefty-lefty matchup, and the New York designated hitter lofted a fly ball to left to score the go-ahead run.Ben Heller (1-0) pitched a perfect 12th to earn his first major league victory, which Dellin Betances preserved by working around a leadoff walk for his seventh save.Everybody was calm under pressure, said Yankees reliever Adam Warren, who contributed to seven shutout innings from the bullpen. It was kind of neat to see Ben get his first win.Castro hit a two-run homer for the Yankees. Kendrys Morales hit one for Kansas City.The Royals appeared to have quickly erased the memories of their rain-delayed, 5-4 loss in 10 innings the previous night when Morales homered for the second straight game with two outs in the first.Kansas City added another run off Luis Cessa in the second on an error by third baseman Chase Headley and a timely double by Alcides Escobar, then made it 4-0 when Eric Hosmer homered to left in the third.Ian Kennedy was cruising along for Kansas City until the sixth, when Gregorius lofted a sacrifice fly to left field. Castro followed moments later with his two-run shot.Kennedys night was done when he walked Aaron Hicks with one out in the sixth. Scott Alexander came in and gave up a single to Brett Gardner and Jacoby Ellsburys tying sacrifice fly to center.Both teams had chances to push runs across before the 13th inning.The Royals Raul Mondesi drew a leadoff walk in the seventh and Jarrod Dyson dropped a sacrifice bunt to get him to second base with only one out. But Mondesi got caught straying between second and third, and Cheslor Cuthbert promptly struck out to end the inning.In the 11th, Salvador Perez walked and pinch-runner Billy Burns stole his way to third. He wound up stranded there when Paulo Orlando ripped a line drive right at Castro at second base.The Yankees loaded the bases with one out in the 12th, but Gary Sanchez lined out to Cuthbert at third base and Mark Teixeira chopped a grounder to shortstop to end that threat.The off day is going to do us good tomorrow, Royals manager Ned Yost said. Everybody is going to be able to recharge a little bit. Its going to be good for us to just relax a little bit.YANKEES DEALThe Yankees sent OF Ben Gamel, the MVP of the International League, to Seattle for minor league RHPs Jio Orozco and Juan De Paula on Wednesday. They also sent cash to Milwaukee for speedy OF Eric Young Jr., who Girardi said could join the club when rosters expand later this week.ROYALS MOVESRHP Chien-Ming Wang was placed on the DL with biceps tendinitis after tossing two scoreless innings on Tuesday night. The Royals shored up their taxed bullpen by recalling Alexander and RHP Brooks Pounders from Triple-A Omaha and optioning INF Christian Colon to the same club.TRAINERS ROOMYankees: Hicks left the game after grounding out in the ninth, limping his way to the dugout with a right hamstring strain. Im concerned, Girardi said. Its probably not a day-to-day thing.Royals: CF Lorenzo Cain (sprained wrist) got the night off. Hes been playing in pain for about two weeks. Its been pretty sore, Yost said. Its not a thing thats going to heal in a week.UP NEXTThe Yankees take Thursday off before sending RHP Chad Green to the mound to start a three-game set in Baltimore on Friday night. LHP Danny Duffy gets the call for the Royals when Detroit visits Friday night to open their three-game series at Kauffman Stadium.

BOULDER, Colo. -- For Mike MacIntyre, the best thing about the biggest turnaround in college football this season is that Colorados seniors are getting to experience the Buffaloes renaissance themselves.It means everything that this group of guys was able to get it done in their time, McIntyre said. Its really unique to me that with these guys hard-earned work, all their blood, sweat, tears and body parts, that these guys get to do it. Not often in life does that always happen. If we finish this like we want, it truly is a dream realized.To do that, the ninth-ranked Buffaloes (9-2, 7-1 Pac-12, No. 9 CFP) have to beat No. 21 Utah on Saturday night at Folsom Field.A win secures the Pac-12 South title for the Buffaloes, who lost 40 of their first 45 conference games since joining the Pac-12 in 2011, including 2-25 under MacIntyre, who came aboard in 2013.An upset by the Utes and USC would instead head to the Pac-12 title game for a shot at the Rose Bowl -- or maybe the College Football Playoff.The Utes (8-3, 5-3) were also in the hunt for the Pac-12 South title until losing to Oregon 30-28 on a last-minute touchdown at home last week.Now, theyre out to spoil the Buffaloes dream year.I want them to feel how we felt after Oregon, senior receiver Tim Patrick said. You always have to find something to play for. Were playing the No. 9 team in the country at their place. Theyre going to be jumping because its going to be their first time having a chance to go to the Pac-12 championship. I like playing the spoiler.The Buffaloes have secured their first winning season since 2005 and are bowl eligible for the first time since 2007.MacIntyre said the Buffs are ahead of schedule.You always want to win right away, but I knew for a fact that we had to build a foundation, culturally, he said. Everybody says that, but in any company you have do that. We had to build a foundation physically and we had to build a foundation mentally, because we were deficient in all those areas and it takes a while to do all those.The great thing is with all those seniors and the culmination of a bunch of different things happened, we were able to hit it right now, which is awesome.The Buffs are celebrating the journey but theyre focused on finishing the race.In my eyes if we dont win Saturdday (and) we dont become Pac-12 South champs, to me we just won a bunch of games, senior center Alex Kelley said.dddddddddddd. Its cool, but thats not our ultimate goal.Other sub-plots as the Buffaloes try to snap a four-game losing streak to the Utes on Saturday night:SUSTAINED EXCELLENCE: The Buffaloes are counting on their resurgence being more than a one-year wonder, and a trip to the conference title game would help.Football is important at the University of Colorado, but it just hasnt been very good in a while, MacIntyre said. Hopefully we can keep doing what were enjoying doing and keep building it. The kids in high school, we werent very good when they were younger. Hopefully we can keep developing that and get a lot of following back.The Buffs resurgence already has paid dividends: Pomona lineman Jake Moretti, the states top football recruit in the class of 2017, flipped his commitment from Ohio State to Colorado, joining a bumper Buffs recruiting class that will replace their sensational senior class.CUP OF JOE: Utah running back Joe Williams has run for 1,088 yards in just seven games, including 1,013 yards in the five games since he came out of retirement. His 155.5 yards per game put him on pace for a school record.I wish he would have stayed retired, MacIntyre said. He might have found a secret that other running backs will use out there: stay off your legs for a while and dont go through camp and come back fresh.SENIOR CELEBRATIONS: Unlike recent seasons, senior day at CU wont be a tearful goodbye.I told them everybodys coming here for Thanksgiving and everybodys going to be excited, but theyre not coming here for their last game, MacIntyre said. Theyre coming here to see if they can go to Levis Stadium. Its a whole different mentality. To me, its definitely a send-off, but its not an end-off.THATS MY QUARTERBACK: What else can MacIntyre say about senior Sefo Liufau? Asked what the record-breaking QB has meant to the Buffs program, MacIntyre said: Everything.
