After a disappointing loss yesterday, the New York Yankees rebounded with a solid 4-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics. Marcus Stroman, who struck out nine batters, provided a strong start for the Yankees, who scored all their runs in the first inning. Thanks to some timely hits from Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Anthony Rizzo, the Yankees managed to hold onto their lead and secure the win. Despite some close calls, the Yankee bullpen, including Ron Marinaccio, Caleb Ferguson, Dennis Santana, and Clay Holmes, performed well and helped preserve the team’s victory. With this win, the Yankees improve their record to 16-11, and they will face the Angels tomorrow with Clarke Schmidt on the mound.
