OAKLAND, Calif. — Coming into this series, I really was optimistic for the New York Yankees taking three of four from the Oakland Athletics. Yes, Oakland has been a recent house of horrors for the Yankees. Yet, given how this series began, it was an unfortunate disappointing thud at the end of the series.
GAME 1
The Bronx Bombers powered their way to an early touchdown lead. However, Jameson Taillon posted his sketchiest start in about two months and allowed the A’s to quickly bounce back. Yet, the bullpen rebounded and helped lock down a 7-6 win.
