Game #47: Manaea Twirls a Gem; Wins Pitchers' Duel as A's Survive Ninth

(tips head back, drains entire glass of wine)

Well, that was fun! It was no walk-off, but I'll take it. It's a win! It's a WIN! The A's beat the Yankees in Yankee Stadium tonight by the score of 4-1, in a game that was a whole lot closer than the score would lead one to believe. Manaea and Tanaka were aces through their seven innings of work, striking out a combined 21 batters, before the A's broke through. Singles by Lowrie and Khris Davis plated two in the eighth to set up Manaea for the win, and a huge home run (both in distance and in-game situation, after just missing one earlier in the night) by Stephen Vogt gave the A's the 4-0 lead, of which Casilla would test to the very tying run.
