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.

The Yankees’ bullpen then held Oakland scoreless over the final 3 2/3 innings, with Clay Holmes recording his ninth save of the season.

Yankees Bounce Back with a 4-3 Win Over the Athletics

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.

Rizzo’s Homer Fuels Yankees’ Win, Back into AL East Tie

Anthony Rizzo’s first-inning three-run homer propelled the New York Yankees to a 4-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday night, bringing the team back into a tie for first place with the Baltimore Orioles atop the AL East. Rizzo, who struggled with power at the end of the 2022 season and beginning of 2023, has now hit two homers in his last 15 games after going 77 games without one. The Yankees held onto their lead thanks to strong performances from their relievers, who combined for 3 2/3 scoreless innings to protect a one-run advantage. The win puts the Yankees on an even footing with the Orioles, who have played one less game, as the two teams continue their pursuit of the division title.

Jose Canseco Petitions to Become Manager of Sacramento A’s Upon Relocation

Former Oakland A’s slugger Jose Canseco initiated a petition on Change.org, urging the team’s owners and decision-makers to consider him as their manager once they move to Sacramento.

Yankees Fall to Athletics Despite Rodon’s Strong Outing, Gonzalez’s Costly Error

The New York Yankees lost 2-0 to the Oakland Athletics on Passover Monday, wasting a solid start from Carlos Rodon.
