One day after Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected by home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt for something a fan said, another umpire John Tumpane almost did the same. In the top of the fourth inning of the second game against the A’s on Tuesday, Tumpane called a strike on a Marcus Stroman sinker outside of the strike zone. This sparked the ire of Oakland’s manager Mark Kotsay, who barked at Tumpane from the visitor’s dugout. Like deja vu, Tumpane barked back, and the YES Network booth was all over it. Fortunately, Tumpane didn’t toss Kotsay. Unlike the previous day when Boone was accused of lying by blaming the umpire heckling on a fan, even though a live mic from YES backed up the manager.
In a low-scoring affair, the Oakland A’s defeated the New York Yankees 2-0 on Monday to snap an eight-game losing streak in the Bronx. Zack Gelof’s ninth-inning home run off Victor González proved decisive, while Mason Miller struck out the side in the bottom of the ninth to secure the save. The win was also a positive step for Gelof, who had struggled against left-handed pitchers in the past. Meanwhile, former Yankees pitcher JP Sears had a solid start for the A’s, allowing just three hits in six shutout innings.
The Oakland Athletics ended their eight-game losing streak Monday with a 2-0 victory over the New York Yankees in the Bronx. Zack Gelof hit a two-run homer off Victor González in the ninth inning, and Mason Miller recorded his fifth save of the season.
