NEW YORK -- Jay Bruce, indeed, broke loose.Bruce launched a three-run homer for his first hit since being traded, Bartolo Colon took a shutout into the seventh inning and the New York Mets beat the Yankees 4-1 Thursday night for a split of the Subway Series.Bruce had been 0 for 10 since being acquired from Cincinnati on Monday before his drive into the Yankees bullpen in right-center field made it 4-0 in the fifth inning.I told some guys it felt like my first major league homer running around the bases, he said.Bruces 26th homer gave him the NL RBI lead with 83, ended an 0-for-19 rut overall and made him 5-for-56 against the Yankees.

He was probably 92-93 (mph). He gets up to 91 now. But its still the same guy, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Hes been doing it for a long time. Its impressive what he does at 43 years old. Hes just got incredible control with really good movement.Colon struck out Brett Gardner to begin the first and fanned no one else, and he walked none. Colon escaped a two-on, no-out jam in the second while retiring 13 of 14 batters.I would say all of my stuff was working, Colon said through a translator.Jerry Blevins took over for Colon and gave up an RBI single to Aaron Hicks. The reliever had stranded his previous 19 inherited runners.Addison Reed pitched a perfect eighth and Jeurys Familia worked around a pair of one-out singles for his 38th save in 40 chances, retiring Rob Refsnyder on a game-ending double-play grounder over the third-base bag. Kelly Johnson gloved the ball, stepped on the base and threw to first.Johnson lined the first pitch from Nathan Eovaldi (9-8) in the fifth over the right-field wall. Curtis Granderson doubled with one out, and Eovaldi made a late throw trying to catch him on a comebacker by Alejandro De Aza. With two outs, Bruce homered.Every non-out relaxes me a little bit, Bruce said. I make plenty of outs.The Mets outhomered the Yankees 8-2 in the four-game series, connecting twice each day. The Yankees lead their city rivals 62-46 in regular-season interleague play and beat them in the 2000 World Series.De Aza started in center field after the Mets put slugging outfielder Yoenis Cespedes on the disabled list and De Aza made the defensive play of the night.

At the halfway point of the season, No. 14 Boise State is preparing for what may be the biggest challenge remaining on the schedule.The Broncos (6-0) host a BYU team on Thursday night that has three wins against Power 5 teams and whose three losses on the season were by a combined seven points. A Boise State win sets the stage for a possible undefeated season with five Mountain West games remaining -- and an argument for inclusion in the College Football Playoff.The Broncos are one of 11 remaining unbeaten teams and this is their first 6-0 start since 2011. Boise State finished 12-1 that season.Short week, big week, Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said.BYU (4-3) is in that odd position as an independent without much to play for now that the College Football Playoff and a New Years Six bowl are out of the picture, but Boise State represents an opportunity to make a statement.

The Broncos will get nine days off afterward before a road game at Wyoming on Oct. 29 with major MWC Mountain Division implications.IMPROVING: The BYU offense struggled out of the gate with new offensive coordinator Ty Detmer. The Cougars failed to score 20 points in the first three games. In the four games since, BYU has averaged 36.5 points per game and hasnt scored fewer than 28 points.I think Ty is trusting our personnel, BYU quarterback Taysom Hill said. Weve opened it up a little bit. We started really conservative at the beginning of the season and I think a lot of it was him feeling us out and us feeling out what the play-calling was going to be and not knowing what the defense was going to do to defend us. Now we have a pretty good idea of what to expect.RECORD CHASER: Boise State receiver Thomas Sperbeck is 34 yards from surpassing Titus Youngs career school record of 3,063 receiving yards. He leads the MWC with 701 receiving yards, is tied for the league high with five touchdown receptions and is second with 38 catches.QUOTABLE: Theyre efficient on offense and tough on defense, Sitake said. They get the most out of their players and theyve recruited really well. They have a lot of great athletes, a great run game and their quarterback is really efficient. Theyve got a strong and physical line. Theyre a tough opponent and were going to have to play our best.---AP college football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Kareem Copeland on Twitter: www.twitter.com/KareemCopeland ' ' '
