SAO PAULO -- Its a 60-minute flight from the Olympic host city, but worlds apart in spirit and style. If Rio de Janeiro is more like a chilled-out, sun-worshipping Los Angeles, Sao Paulo is all New York City -- the intense financial nerve center of Brazil.Long rivals, the nations two most-populous places once competed for the chance at an Olympic bid, and even though Sao Paulo had to sit back and watch the 2016 games unfold from afar, Paulistanos have had some kind, if not qualified, words for the Cariocas.Given the laid-back reputation as a city where people prefer to have fun than work, I did not think Rio could do it, Andre Tanabe, a civil engineering student at the University of Sao Paulo, said while watching Argentina defeat Brazil in Olympic basketball. Rio surprised me and, I think, many others in Sao Paulo.Added Beatriz de Almeida, an architect here: I never thought Cariocas would pull it off. But they did, and they did it beautifully.During much of the 71 years that Rio was the countrys capital, from 1889 to 1960, Sao Paulo was seen as an irrelevant city with little to offer, said Monica de Carvalho, professor of sociology at the Pontifical Catholic University of Sao Paulo. But by 1960, when the capital was transferred to Brasilia, Sao Paulo had grown into the financial and industrial capital of Brazil. Its a hub for factories that make everything from shoes to cars.Thats when the rivalry began, Carvalho said, adding it has never been a hostile one but rather friendly one-upmanship, with residents of each city claiming superiority over the other.Over the years that rivalry has been reduced to almost nothing, and today the two cities complement each other, she said.When the Brazilian Olympic Committee was shaping its unsuccessful bid for the 2012 Summer Games, it chose Rio over Sao Paulo as the place to pitch. Brazils UOL news portal warned the decision could aggravate the historical climate of rivalry between the two cities.That didnt happen, Carvalho said, because Rios Cariocas did not claim the games as their own, but rather as something that belongs to the entire country ... as something that all Brazilians should be proud of.The same has been true throughout the 2016 Summer Games, with some soccer matches even being held in Sao Paulo, Brazils most populous city with 11.3 million people. Rio is home to about 9.6 million.Sipping a cup of coffee in a posh bakery in Sao Paulos Jardims district, Rafael Pereira put down his ham and cheese croissant when asked about the competition between Rio and Sao Paulo. Rivalry? he said. What rivalry?I grew up hearing how Sao Paulo is better than Rio, because we are the so-called locomotive that drives the economy and creates jobs, while Rio is the city of Carnival, music and beaches where people prefer to play rather than work, he said.Pereira, a lawyer, enjoys his frequent trips to Rio to work and visit friends, and said he prefers the word contrast to rivalry. Sao Paulo has better restaurants, nightclubs and theaters, while Rio is more scenic and the Cariocas far more relaxed.One city is not better or worse than the other, Pereira said. They are different.

Nick Chubb Jersey . Jason Zucker and Matt Cooke also scored for Minnesota, which has won five of six. Kuemper made five saves in the first, nine in the second, and nine in the third. The rookies best save came with 2:17 left in the third period when he denied former Wild forward Matt Cullen from just outside of the crease on the right side. ANAHEIM, Calif. -- After going winless for two months, Jhoulys Chacin decided to think like a reliever.Chacin (4-8) allowed six hits over 5 2/3 innings, struck out four and walked one in his first scoreless start since April 12 for Atlanta, leading the Los Angeles Angels over the New York Yankees 2-0 Sunday.It felt good, not just for me, but for the team too, Chacin said. I wasnt trying to do too much. I was just trying to throw strikes.Albert Pujols had three hits and scored twice on singles by Andrelton Simmons. That was enough offense for Chacin, who had been 0-4 in five starts and eight relief appearances since beating Minnesota on June 14.Making his third start since rejoining the rotation, Chacin used a relaxed bullpen mentality.I thought he showed really good stuff, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. He had good command of both his breaking pitches -- his slider and his curveball. He didnt make many mistakes with them. And when we needed him to, he found some velocity and some good movement on his fastball.Deolis Guerra, JC Ramirez and Fernando Salas followed with hitless relief. Salas pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save.After winning the first two games of the series, New York entered four games over .500 at 63-59 but for the fourth time failed to move five games over.Chad Green (2-3) allowed one run and five hits in six innings, which matched his big league high. He struck out 11 in six scoreless innings against Toronto on Monday when he rejoined the rotation.He didnt have his cutter today, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. But he still found a way to get through it all and give up one run. He was a little bit different today, but the good thing was that he found a way to get through it.Pujols had his seventh three-hit game this year. Aggressive base-running by allowed him to score from second base on Simmons first single. Pujols went from first to third on C.J. Crons single and scored on came home on Simmons two-out ground single just beyond the reach of second baseman Starlin Castro.ddddddddddddSomething thats lost in everything is Albert going first to third in the eighth inning, Scioscia said. That opened up a hole there at second base where Castro was playing.One night after tying former St. Louis teammate Mark McGwire for 10th on the career home run list at 583, Pujols nearly surpassed his close friend. Center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury made a leaping catch at the wall in the fifth to deny Pujols a two-run homer.New York was 1 for 7 with runners in scoring position. Mark Teixeira hit an inning-ending flyout to leave the bases loaded in the fourth. After the Yankees put two on with one out in the eighth, Ramirez struck out Didi Gregorius and retired Castro on a groundout.Our opportunities, we have to take advantage of them when we get them, Girardi said. We werent able to do that today.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: RHP Huston Street has gone to Texas to seek a second opinion on his injured right knee in Texas and may need offseason surgery. Scioscia said surgery likely would be minor and would take place in the offseason. Street was placed on the 15-day disabled list with right knee inflammation on Aug. 2.UP NEXTYankees: RHP Michael Pineda (6-10) will pitch on an extra day of rest Monday when the Yankees open a series at Seattle, his former team. Pineda pitched five scoreless innings against Toronto in his last outing and has won five of his last six starts.Angels: LHP Tyler Skaggs (1-2) starts Tuesday when the Angels open a three-game series at Toronto. In his third start following Tommy John surgery, Skaggs allowed four earned runs and six hit in 3 1/3 innings against Seattle on Wednesday.---This version has been corrected to show the Yankees entered Sunday at 63-59 and to fix the spelling of Didi Gregorius.
