NEW YORK -- For the first time ever, the New York Mets and New York Yankees will play each other in August. That wont be the only new wrinkle in the annual Subway Series, which begins Monday with the Mets hosting the Yankees in the opener of a two-game series at Citi Field.For only the second time since interleague play began in 1997, the Mets (54-50) will take the field as the reigning National League champions. There will not be the same buzz this week that surrounded the regular-season games between New Yorks clubs in 2001, the year after the Yankees beat the Mets in five games in the first World Series pitting Big Apple teams against each other since 1956.Still, New York-New York games bring a little something extra, as Mets second baseman Neil Walker is primed to learn over the next four days. The Yankees will host the Mets on Wednesday and Thursday.I think its going to be an exciting week, Walker said after he went 3-for-4 with the go-ahead three-run homer in a 6-4 win over the Colorado Rockies that stopped a four-game losing streak for the Mets, who are 2 1/2 games behind the Miami Marlins in the race for the National Leagues second wild card.First time Ive been involved with a Subway Series. The guys talk about how awesome it is (to) see all of New York come together. A good opportunity for us to hopefully get some wins and get back on the road and keep grinding it out.And for the first time in the interleague era, the Yankees will be in full-fledged rebuilding mode when they take the field Monday. The Yankees continued dismantling a fringe contender Sunday morning, when left-handed reliever Andrew Miller was traded to the Cleveland Indians for four prospects.Later Sunday, the Yankees fell to 52-52 with their fourth straight loss, a 5-3 defeat at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees are seven games behind the Baltimore Orioles in the American League East and 5 1/2 games behind the Boston Red Sox in the race for the second wild card.Miller was dealt six days after the Yankees previous closer, left-hander Aroldis Chapman, was traded to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for four players.Its obviously tough -- its the part of baseball thats a business, Yankees designated hitter Alex Rodriguez said Sunday. Miller was a very, very popular guy in here, both on the field and in the clubhouse. Just a great asset to us and hell be missed. The Tribes getting a good closer. But I hear we got some good prospects back.Mets right-hander Logan Verrett is scheduled to oppose Yankees left-hander CC Sabathia in the series opener Monday night. Verrett has never faced the Yankees while Sabathia is 4-2 with a 3.22 ERA in seven career starts against the Mets. Hunter Strickland Nationals Jersey .

DENVER -- Even when the 4,500th second ticked off the clock on this spectacular Sunday night showdown, the Kansas City Chiefs werent sure they had won and the Denver Broncos wondered if theyd really lost.Cairo Santos 34-yard field goal hit the left upright and bounced through as the overtime period expired to give the Chiefs a 30-27 victory fueled by rookie Tyreek Hills trio of touchdowns -- on a reception, a rush and a return, something no one had done since Gale Sayers in 1965.The only way this game could end, NBC color analyst Cris Collinsworth declared. Holy smokes. I didnt know what had happened.With only one of the two officials raising his arms to signal the ball had gone through the uprights, the Chiefs hesitated as they ran onto the field to celebrate. The stadium was rocking as if it hadnt.I waited for everybody to rejoice, Chiefs linebacker Tamba Hali said, because I didnt know if it went in.Neither did thousands of fans who wanted so much to believe the Chiefs had squandered their second chance. But Kansas Citys lucky bounce avoided the third tie in the NFL this season, something that hasnt happened since 1973 before the league introduced overtime.The winner followed a risky move by Broncos coach Gary Kubiak that backfired and left the Broncos (7-4) two games back of Oakland (9-2) in the AFC West and one behind the Chiefs (8-3).Kubiak sent his kicker out for a 62-yard try with 1:01 left. But Brandon McManus -- who has hit from 70 yards in training camp and was perfect in the playoffs during Denvers Super Bowl 50 surge -- came up way short and wide left on what would have been the longest game-winning field goal in NFL history.Its on me, Kubiak said, explaining he made the move because he had confidence in his kicker even with a new long snapper who joined the team on Friday. We didnt have any doubt that he could get the ball there. The thought process was on the other end: if we do punt, do we get the ball back?McManus was confident as he trotted out for the 62-yarder even after one of Thomas Gaffords snaps had skidded on the ground in regulation.Thats still well within my range. I just kind of hit the ground, McManus said. From that distance, everything kind of needs to be perfect just because of how far you are away. It didnt happen for me.Instead of having to go 80 yards or more, the Chiefs got the ball at the Denver 48 with one timeout and just over a minute remaining. The Chiefs reached the Denver 16 before Santos ended the showdown with one last bit of drama.Cairo, he kept us all in suspeense with that bank shot, or the chip shot, or whatever it is, Chiefs coach Andy Reid saidThe defending Super Bowl champs could find themselves fighting for a wild card now.ddddddddddddonight was a terrible night, Von Miller said. But well be back.Added cornerback Chris Harris Jr.: We just got to get into the playoffs. I feel like if we get in the playoffs, we can be scary for anybody.Both teams kicked field goals on their opening possession of overtime, McManus from 44 yards and Santos from 37. Those followed Kansas Citys amazing tying drive in the final 3 minutes of regulation.Alex Smith threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Hill and a 2-point conversion pass to tight end Demetrius Harris with 12 seconds left to tie it at 24.Hills third touchdown of the night capped a 13-play, 75-yard drive that included three defensive penalties, a fourth-and-10 conversion at the Broncos 3 and zero Kansas City timeouts.The Chiefs had burned their last two timeouts just before Trevor Siemians 76-yard touchdown toss to Bennie Fowler, who got behind cornerback Phillip Gaines with three minutes left that seemingly sealed Denvers win.Siemian threw for 368 yards and three TDs with no interceptions in his best game as a pro. But he was sacked five times as his O-line proved just as porous as it has all season even after the team made better protection a priority following at its bye.SLOW STARTER: The game turned into the white knuckler the NFL expected when it flexed the AFC West showdown to Sunday night rather than having the Patriots-Jets game in prime time as originally scheduled.But the first half was laborious -- Kansas City managed just 49 yards of offense but led 9-3 thanks to a safety and Hills 86-yard touchdown return on the ensuing free kick.Hill also had a 3-yard TD run for Kansas City.NO REGRETS: Miller said nobody in Denvers locker room will second-guess Kubiak for attempting the 62-yarder with McManus, who set an NFL record by going 10-for-10 in the playoffs last year.Im 100 percent behind Kube, Miller said. I wouldnt just play for the tie, either. B-Mac is the man.UP NEXTChiefs: K.C. continues its brutal road swing with a trip to Atlanta next weekend.Broncos: After the lone November home game, the Broncos travel to Jacksonville.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton ' ' '
