Yankees overcome 4-run deficit, beat Royals 5-4 in 13 (Yahoo Sports)

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. 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.
