The New York Yankees are looking forward to their 14th consecutive win in today’s 4:07 pm EDT game at Oakland Coliseum. It would be the third win over the Oakland Athletics and another series win. If they can reach 14, it will be the first time the Yankees have had 14 consecutive wins since 1941.
The Saturday matinee will pit Nestor Cortes Jr. against Frankie Montas. Cortes has been a blessing for the Yankees since taking over for the injured Corey Kluber. The Yankees won 6 of his 8 starts as he was stretched from a reliever to a starter.
