Following Sunday’s loss, the Yankees traveled cross-country. After a day off, they’re back in action tonight. Tonight starts a West Coast road trip that sees that them play nine straight games in the Pacific Time Zone. It all starts tonight with the opener of a three-game set in Oakland.
After meeting in the AL Wild Card Game last year, the Yankees and Athletics will face for the first time in 2019 tonight. Oakland struggled to start the season, but they’ve been excellent since about May, going 57-35, which would be a 100-win pace over a full season.
