Giancarlo Stanton and Anthony Rizzo propelled the New York Yankees to a 4-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics Tuesday night, giving the Yankees four wins in their last six games.
Stanton and Rizzo each drove in two runs in the first inning off A’s starter Paul Blackburn, helping the Yankees overcome an early deficit. Marcus Stroman, making his second start for New York, earned the win despite giving up three runs over 5 1/3 innings. The Yankees’ bullpen then held Oakland scoreless over the final 3 2/3 innings, with Clay Holmes recording his ninth save of the season.
