OAKLAND, Calif. — The East Bay dump of a stadium called O.co Coliseum has been a torture chamber for the Yankees in recent years since they won once in a dozen tries entering Saturday night’s action against the Athletics.
Most of the times the teams have faced off, the A’s were a good club, but in the first two tilts of a four-game series the Yankees lost to the worst team in the AL and looked very bad doing it.
While they didn’t dominate the A’s, the Yankees managed to overcome Nathan Eovaldi’s shaky outing to post a 5-3 victory that was witnessed by 25,223.
