OAKLAND – The A’s haven’t back down from their most potentially grueling homestand of the season, posting a 5-2 win behind Jesse Hahn and Ryan Healy Saturday to take the first three games of their four-game set with the Yankees.
Hahn pitched five innings and stumbled only in the second inning in improving to 3-1 at home this season. It was the A’s third consecutive win over New York, which came into the series with the second-best record in the American League.
After the Yankees leave town, Houston, which owns the best record in baseball, is on tap for four more games.
