NEW YORK — That big hit the A’s couldn’t avoid on Friday night was elusive Saturday. The A’s went 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position, leaving 15 runners on base. Yet, the Yankees took 11 innings to beat the A’s, 4-3, on DJ LeMahieu’s first-pitch walk-off home run off Lou Trivino.
“They ran some pretty good pitchers out there,” manager Bob Melvin said. “We left 15 on, that comes back to bite you at some point in time.”
Despite the anemic RISP average, the A’s had a chance to pull out a fifth-straight win over the Yankees.
