If the Yankees are wondering whether J.A. Happ is worthy of consideration for their postseason starting rotation, the answer may have continued to materialize in their 6-4 loss Wednesday night to the Oakland A’s.
• Box score
Happ lasted three batters into the fifth inning, departing with the bases loaded and nobody out. He allowed five runs in four-plus innings, hiking his ERA in his last six assignments to 8.07. The Yankees generated some late offense but lost their third game in a row to drop their still-impressive overall record to 83-45.
