Oakland came up on the losing side of a pitching matchup, falling in 10 innings to the New York Yankees by a final of 4-2.
We had a low-scoring affair tonight on a chilly evening at the Coliseum. New York had their reigning AL Cy Young Award winner and future Hall-of-Famer Gerrit Cole going up against the good guys during game one tonight, while the Athletics countered with a rookie in JT Ginn who has made just a handful of starts. The two opponents couldn’t be coming into this game any farther apart in their careers.
Cole came into this game posting relatively average numbers after starting the year on the IL with elbow issues.
