The seven-game West Coast trip ends today and so far it has been a successful trip. The Yankees dropped the first two games before rebounding to win four straight. Today’s series finale against the Athletics will determine whether this is a great 5-2 trip or a pretty good 4-3 trip. Plus it’s a chance for a five-game winning streak. Those are always fun. Here is the A’s lineup and here is the Yankees’ lineup:
- CF Jacoby Ellsbury
- LF Brett Gardner
- DH Carlos Beltran
- C Brian McCann
- 1B Mark Teixeira
- 2B Starlin Castro
- 3B Chase Headley
- SS Didi Gregorius
Yet again it is cool, cloudy, and windy in Oakland.
