Argh.
The Oakland A’s had every chance to win on Sunday in the Bronx, but fell just short over and over in a 2-1 defeat by the New York Yankees. All the ingredients were there but nothing came at the right moment, and the green-and-gold leaves town with a frustrating series loss despite playing well all weekend.
For the third day in a row, the A’s homered in the 1st inning. This time it was Matt Olson again, same as he’d done Friday in the series opener. There was nobody on base, but it was still an early lead.
