Athletics-Yankees Preview

The first two starters for the Oakland Athletics in this three-game series entered it with 10 career wins, although that didn't prevent them from helping stifle the stumbling New York Yankees.

With that in mind, there's no reason to think a pitcher with six victories over the last seven seasons can't do something similar.

Rich Hill is next in line for the Athletics on Thursday night when they seek to complete their first sweep in the Bronx in 10 years.

Oakland (8-7) sent Eric Surkamp and Kendall Graveman to the mound in the first two games and is now within its first sweep at the current Yankee Stadium, having last swept a series in the Bronx from June 9-11, 2006.
