Well that was a crappy loss. The Yankees were in a good position to get a series-opening win in Oakland last night, up multiple runs heading into the game’s later innings. But a few bad pitches and a really horrible bullpen decision fueled an A’s comeback and got the Bombers’ West Coast trip off to a tough start.
It wasn’t the 1st inning, but Brian McCann got the scoring off to an early start with a 1-out solo home run in the top of the 2nd. He drove in the Yankees’ second run in the top of the 4th too.
