The Yankees are back home after a long trip out West. They were able to salvage the stretch by taking care of business against the Dodgers and Mariners, though the series that preceded those was not as pretty. The A’s swept the Yanks to start the West Coast swing, and it’s time to correct that injustice with this three-game set.
These three games carry meaning for both teams, as the A’s are in a tight battle for a Wild Card spot, while the Yanks are neck-and-neck with the Astros for home-field advantage.
