OAKLAND, Calif. -- The New York Yankees and Oakland Athletics are headed in opposite directions.
The Yankees lead the American League East by two games over Boston, while the A's have sole possession of the cellar in the AL West.
But, when the A's and Yankees opened a four-game series on Thursday night at Oakland Coliseum, Khris Davis hit a two-run, walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th inning, lifting Oakland to an 8-7 victory.
Davis, who leads the A's with 17 home runs, said he hopes momentum from Oakland's walk-off win carries over to the second game Friday night.
