lew early to Denver and starts Monday against Rockies RHP Chad Be

Oklahoma and Oklahoma State will end the regular season with Bedlam for the Big 12 title. The Sooners already won their other big rivalry game this year.Each October at the State Fair of Texas, Oklahoma plays Texas in the Red River Showdown. The crowd is split evenly at midfield, with fans clad in crimson and burnt orange on opposite ends of the historic Cotton Bowl Stadium.The few real rivalry games in the 20-year-old Big 12 carry over from the old Big Eight and Southwest conferences.Bedlam will have Big 12 title implications for the fourth time in six years since the league went to 10 teams without divisions.When the Big 12 reinstates its title game next season, the top two teams in the overall standings will play for the championship. If that was the case this year or last year, the Sooners and Cowboys would have played consecutive games against each other both times.A look at some Big 12 rivalries:OKLAHOMA-OKLAHOMA STATESeries began: 1904.Series record: Oklahoma leads 85-18-7.Trophy: Bedlam Bell.Why its a big deal: Its a more than century-old intrastate rivalry that incorporates not only football, but every sport the two schools play against each other. Despite the lopsided advantage in football by Oklahoma, many of the recent games have had a direct impact on who wins the Big 12 title.Best game: In 2012, Oklahoma kept its Big 12 title hopes alive with a 51-48 overtime victory after never leading in regulation and wiping out double-digit deficits in both halves. The Sooners tied the game on Blake Bells fourth-down 4-yard keeper with 4 seconds left in regulation.This year: The winner Dec. 3 in Norman is the conference champ. Seventh-ranked Oklahoma is going for its 10th Big 12 title, while No. 10 Oklahoma State has won only one.KANSAS-KANSAS STATESeries began: 1902.Series record: Disputed due to a forfeit by the Jayhawks in 1980. Kansas believes it leads 65-43-5 while Kansas State says it is 64-44-5.Trophy: Governors Cup.Why its a big deal: The Sunflower Showdown is one of six series in the nation that has been played continuously for at least 100 years. The game usually has special meaning because both schools recruit in-state talent -- nearly 100 players from Kansas dot the rosters of the two teams.Best game: What should have been the best game occurred in 1995, when the Jayhawks were ranked sixth and the up-and-coming Wildcats were No. 14. But as has happened so often in the series, the game turned into a rout. Kansas State won 41-7.This year: Kansas State coach Bill Snyder likes nothing more than to beat up Kansas, and doing so Saturday would give him career win No. 200. The Jayhawks upset Texas last weekend for coach David Beatys first Big 12 win, but havent won back-to-back games since 2011.OKLAHOMA-TEXASSeries began: 1900.Series record: Texas leads 61-45-5.Trophy: The Golden Hat.Why its a big deal: The Red River Showdown, that moniker a nod to the river that separates the two states, is played about a three-hour drive from each campus in the shadow of a Texas-sized Ferris wheel. It has been played in Dallas every year since 1929. Theres the real Texas longhorn named Bevo and the horse-drawn Sooner Schooner wagon.Best game: The 1963 game matched the nations top two teams. The Sooners were coming off a win at top-ranked USC to take over the No. 1 ranking, and the Longhorns were ranked second. Texas won 28-7 and went on to its first national championship.This year: Dede Westbrook set a single-game Oklahoma record with 232 yards receiving and Samaje Perine ran for 214 yards as Oklahoma won 45-40 in the highest-scoring game in the history of the rivalry.BAYLOR-TCUSeries began: 1899.Series record: TCU leads 53-52-7.Trophy: None.Why its a big deal: Referred as Revivalry by some, the game matches the Big 12s private Christian schools that are about 100 miles apart. They were reunited as conference rivals when TCU joined the Big 12 in 2012. (They were in the Southwest Conference together from 1923-96). The longest-played series for both teams dates back to a scoreless tie in 1899 when both schools were in Waco.Best game: In a matchup of the Big 12s only remaining undefeated teams in 2014, Baylor overcame a 21-point deficit in the final 11 minutes to win 61-58 on a game-ending field goal. That was TCUs only loss that season. The Horned Frogs and Bears finished as Big 12 co-champions, both at 11-1 overall, and were the first two teams left out of the initial College Football Playoff.This year: Kyle Hicks ran for 192 yards and five TDs as TCU won 62-22 on Nov. 5, handing Baylor its worst home loss since 2005.---AP Sports Writer Dave Skretta contributed to this report.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Ben Roethlisberger Jersey . - Blake Griffin had 30 points and 12 rebounds, J.

CHICAGO -- After the San Francisco Giants dropped three out of four at Wrigley Field, Johnny Cueto was eager to face the Chicago Cubs again.The next meeting would have to be in the postseason.I hope to God we do, Cueto said through a translator. Were going to find out whos got the coconuts.Jason Heyward tied it with a single in the ninth inning and his liner to left-center in the 13th won it as the Cubs beat the Giants 3-2 on Sunday in a possible playoff preview.Anthony Rizzo led off the 13th with a single off Matt Reynolds (0-1) and went to second on Ben Zobrists groundout. Addison Russell, who had three hits, was walked intentionally before Heyward drove in his third run of the game.Isnt it beautiful? Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. We have a nice record, but were coming to play every day.Trevor Cahill (4-4) worked a perfect inning in a series in which all four games were decided by one run.The National League-leading Cubs were staring at a second straight loss when Russell led off the ninth with a double against Santiago Casilla. Russell went to third on a wild pitch and scored on Heywards single up the middle to hand Casilla his NL-high seventh blown save.Hes been throwing the ball well, manager Bruce Bochy said. Its tough to get down on somebody whos been doing a good job. Sure, hes had some hiccups, but other closers are right there with him as far as saves that have gotten away.The Giants finished with just 14 hits in the series. Their lead over the Cardinals for the first wild card was reduced to 1 1/2 games.Its fair to say we have to get some guys going, Bochy said.Each team had chances earlier in extra innings. Cubs closer Aroldis Chapman worked two scoreless innings, striking out Brandon Belt on a 102 mph fastball with two on to end the 11th.The Giants Cory Gearrin struck out Russell looking on a questionable call with a runner on second to end the 10th.The Giants appeared on their way to the win in regulation despite managing two hits thanks to sevenn strong innings from Cueto and a perfectly executed suicide squeeze.ddddddddddddEduardo Nunez doubled in the fifth, stole third then broke for home as Ehire Adrianza put down a soft bunt in front of the mound that forced John Lackey to throw to first and snapped a 1-all tie.Cueto allowed a run and struck out five.I was putting the pitches where I wanted to, he said.In his first start since Aug. 14 because of a shoulder strain, Lackey trailed 1-0 after 3 1/2 innings despite not allowing a hit.Heyward was charged with a two-base error in the second when he couldnt make a running catch of Hunter Pences fly to right-center. Pence scored the unearned run on Nunezs groundout.After the Cubs tied it when Heywards single scored Rizzo in the fourth, the Giants got their first hit an inning later on Nunezs one-out liner to the gap.Lackey, on a pitch count, was lifted after 76 pitches, allowed one earned run and one hit.That was more than I expected, honestly, Maddon said.TRAINERS ROOMGiants: Bochy didnt start SS Brandon Crawford and LF Angel Pagan with a day game Monday at Colorado. Both ended up pinch-hitting.SCARY MOMENTGiants 1B Brandon Belt stayed in after taking Rob Zastryznys 87 mph fastball of his helmet in the seventh. Belt stayed upright as his helmet flew off, then walked to first after being looked at by the trainer. Belt said he was doing OK after undergoing concussion protocol.NATHAN DEBUTRHP Joe Nathan, making his first appearance with San Francisco since the 2003 playoffs, struck out Kris Bryant in a perfect 12th.Impressive outing. He did a great job, Bochy said.UP NEXTGiants: LHP Matt Moore (9-10, 3.88 ERA) flew early to Denver and starts Monday against Rockies RHP Chad Bettis (11-7, 5.17).Cubs: RHP Kyle Hendricks (13-7) carries the majors lowest ERA of 2.09 into Mondays start at Milwaukee against RHP Zach Davies (10-6, 4.07).
