New York YankeesvsAthletics
NYY 4/ATH 6
Things to say
Athletics beat the Yankees 6-4 at Sutter Health Park.
01
opener
Yeah, the A's took down the Yankees 6-4 last night. Out in Sacramento of all places. Nobody saw that one coming.
02
key player
The A's heart of the order finally showed up — couple of guys really got into his stuff against the Yankee starter.
03
hot take
Boone went to the pen way too early, and the bullpen just couldn't hold it. Same story all year.
04
deep cut
Yankees are 35-23 and still can't beat a sub-.500 team on a getaway day. That's twice this homestand for the A's.
05
exit
We'll see if the Yanks can bounce back in the next series — they've got no excuse now.
The recap
The Athletics knocked off the Yankees 6-4 at Sutter Health Park, which is the kind of result that gets a clubhouse loose for a getaway day. New York came in at 35-23 and still couldn't solve whatever Oakland was throwing — the bats went quiet when it mattered and the bullpen didn't bail them out.
Athletics climb to 28-30 and suddenly look like a team nobody wants to draw on a quick West Coast swing. Yankees fans will be grumbling about the heart of the order going cold against a club they were supposed to handle.
