The A's surrendered four solo home runs to the Yankees on Saturday afternoon, but that's not the reason they lost the game.
Oakland left the bases loaded in the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings, and then left two more runners on base in the ninth. For the game, the A's left 15 men on base, going just 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position, as New York earned a 4-3 victory in 11 innings.
"I feel like we were right on the cusp of breaking it open a couple of times and we needed that one more hit," A's outfielder Mark Canha told reporters.
