New York Yankees 5 – Oakland Athletics 1
Building on the three-game winning streak, Tanaka Time took place in Oakland.
While A’s lefty Sean Manaea set the Yankees down in order the first time through the lineup, Masahiro Tanaka was not having it as easy through the first three innings. After a pair of relatively easy innings, the third inning was a little more stressful for Tanaka. After getting the first out Max Muncy and Coco Crisp reached base on a pair of singles before Billy Burns dragged a bunt with him beyond first base for a single that loaded the bases.
