Oakland A's vs. New York Yankees series preview: A's must keep Yankees bats quiet

The New York Yankees (17-22) visit the Oakland Athletics (19-22) for four games at the Oakland Coliseum.

When the Oakland A's last saw the Yankees exactly one month ago, the Yankees were at 5-6, down three games in the AL East. The Yankees have since gone 12-16, including the three-game A's sweep at Yankee Stadium, and are in last place trailing the Orioles by 7.5.

The Yankees have also been less prodigious base stealers; while they had 13 steals in the first 11 games, they've only had 12 in their last 18. In the last 30 days, that's good for 9th best in the AL.
