NEW YORK -- Aroldis Chapman and the rest of the New York Yankees dressed in their Sunday best for a flight to Houston following a 5-2 win over the San Francisco Giants that completed a 6-4 homestand.Who returns in 10 days is unclear.Were very much in this, Brett Gardner said. Theres no point in me sitting here campaigning for us to stay together.Nathan Eovaldi (9-6) pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning, Carlos Beltran and Mark Teixeira hit early solo home runs of Jeff Samardzija (9-6) and Chad Green pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings.But the Yankees (50-48), who matched their season high of two games over .500, may have shown their management too little, too late to prevent a selloff of veterans ahead of the Aug. 1 deadline for trades without waivers. New York trails AL East-leading Baltimore by 7 1/2 games and is 4 1/2 games behind Toronto for the leagues second wild card, with the Astros and Detroit also ahead.Chapman has 20 saves in 21 chances and his fastball, at up to 105.1 mph, has entertained fans focusing on the scoreboard velocity of every pitch.Its tough. I feel comfortable here. I feel like part of the family here, he said through an interpreter, adding the Yankees have been talking to his agent.Chapman has formed the Yankees No Runs DMC bullpen trio with Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller, which has 203 strikeouts in 123 2/3 innings. Chapman, pitcher Ivan Nova, Beltran and Teixeira are eligible for free agency at the end of the season; Miller, signed through 2018 at $9 million, also is of interest to contenders.We dont want to see him go, Teixeira said of Chapman. Were trying to win games, and hes a big part of that.Chapman maintained he could be dealt and still re-sign with the Yankees as a free agent during the offseason.Oh yeah, if theres a possibility, and God willing, yes, he said.Beltran hit his team-best 21st home run in the first and Teixeira doubled the lead on the second with his 200th home run for the Yankees, his sixth in 20 games since returning from the disabled list. Teixeira and Jacoby Ellsbury wore white Ken Griffey Jr. Nike Swingman spikes with gold soles as a tribute to Juniors induction Sunday into baseballs Hall of Fame.New York chased Samardzija in the sixth, when Ellsbury grounded into a run-scoring double play, Starlin Castro singled in a run and Didi Gregorius hit an RBI double.Making his second start following a brief bullpen banishment, Eovaldi used a new cutter for the second time in the homestand. He escaped bases-loaded, one-out trouble in a 33-pitch fourth inning when Mac Williamson fouled out and Ramiro Pena grounded out.Eovaldi left after Angel Pagans two-out double on his 118th pitch, two shy of his career high. With the No Runs DMC trio unavailable after two days of heavy use, Chasen Shreve came in and loaded the bases with a walk to Brandon Belt, and Buster Posey poked an opposite-field, two-run single to right against Green, who then retired Brandon Crawford on a groundout.After losing the first two games of the homestand to Boston, the Yankees won six of eight against the Red Sox, Orioles and Giants.Weve told our players, and it includes me, you have to stay away from the noise, what youre hearing and rumors and things that might be going on, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.Beltran, traded in midseason from Kansas City to Houston in 2004 and from the New York Mets to San Francisco in 2011, knows not to think too far ahead.Ive been in this situation before, the 39-year-old said. For me its day by day.WEB GEMNew York turned a spectacular 4-1-5 inning-ending double play in the eighth. Pena grounded past a diving Teixeira at first but Castro slid on his stomach to come up with the ball on the outfield grass between first and second, and from his knees threw to Green covering first. The pitcher made a one-hop throw to third, where Chase Headley tagged a sliding Williamson.Thats a play we work on a lot in spring training, Green said.UP NEXTYankees: RHP Michael Pineda (4-9) starts Monday and LHP Dallas Keuchel (6-9), the AL Cy Young Award winner, goes for the Astros.

Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Last season, the Syracuse Orange had to sweat out Selection Sunday, then shocked the college basketball world by advancing to the Final Four.This season, despite Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheims attempt to tamp down expectations at his teams media day Friday, going that far in the NCAA Tournament wouldnt be that big of a shock.I think its very hard, when youre talking Final Four, you look at the last four years, the two best teams, the two best records in the country were Arizona and Virginia. Theyve won the most games and the most (conference) championships of any teams in the country, and they did not get to the Final Four, said Boeheim, entering his 41st season leading his alma mater. So when you start talking `Youve got to get to the Final Four, youre really foolish.You need to get into the tournament, thats what you need to worry about, he said.Boeheim over the summer was effusive in praise of his 2016-17 squad, which features what appears to be a solid mix of talented returnees that includes: projected first-round NBA pick Tyler Lydon; a highly ranked, three-member recruiting class; two fifth-year transfers, guard John Gillon and sharpshooter Andrew White, who are eligible to play immediately; and a traditional transfer, 7-foot-2 center Paschal Chukwu, who promises to be a menacing force in Boeheims 2/3 zone defense.For much of the 2015-16 season, Syracuse was only six players deep. Boeheim said he would be comfortable playing nine or 10 players this season.I said this summer we have more depth, which is true, and we have a couple of guys at each position, which we havent had in a long time, Boeheim said. Now, whether that equates into a better team is something completely different from what I was talking about this summer. Maybe I wasnt clear in what I was saying. I said, `Could be. Could be. I always say that. I said that one year and we won about 18 games.Last seasons team finished 23-14 and went just 9-9 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Associate head coach Mike Hopkins went 4-5 while Boeheim served an NCAA-imposed suspension as part of sanctions handed down by the organization.ddddddddddddMany predicted the Orange would fail to make the NCAA Tournament last year, and many screamed foul when the Orange were named to the field of 68. As a No. 10 seed, however, the Orange defeated Dayton and Middle Tennessee before stunning Gonzaga and Virginia to make it to Houston. Syracuse lost to North Carolina in the national semifinals.Last year, we were not very good, Boeheim said. We played really, really well in the tournament, but that doesnt take away from the fact we were not a very good team. We need to be a lot better team this year, and we lost three really good players, two (Malachi Richardson and Michael Gbinije) who are playing in the NBA and one (Trevor Cooney) whos playing in Spain.Syracuse is expected to be ranked in the Top 25, but that doesnt guarantee a thing as far as Boeheim is concerned.Preseason rankings are good because people think you might have a chance, but you have to do it on the court, he said.Center DaJuan Coleman, a graduate student; senior power forward Tyler Roberson and sophomores Lydon and point guard Frank Howard return. They are joined by Chukwu, freshmen Tyus Battle, Taurean Thompson and Matthew Moyer, and transfers White and Gillon, who came over from Nebraska and Colorado State, respectively.Syracuse was hit with NCAA sanctions in March 2015. As part of the punishment, 101 of the Oranges victories were vacated. Among those vacated wins were all 23 from the 2005-06 season, including the Big East Tournament championship when the clutch play of Gerry McNamara led the Orange to four straight wins at Madison Square Garden. Boeheims career wins went from 985 to 886, still third all-time behind Mike Krzyzewski and Bob Knight.The Orange begin play at home against Colgate Nov. 11.---Online: www.collegebasketball.ap.org ' ' '
