The Athletics traveled to Yankee Stadium in the Bronx to take on their American League East rival New York Yankees in game one of a three-game series tonight.
Mitch Spence took the mound for the A’s against Will Warren, a 26-year-old right-hander. The A’s loaded the bases in the first on walks to Butler, Kurtz, and Soderstrom, but Warren also struck out three, including Gio Urshela, to end the inning. Kurtz flashed some defense too in the bottom of the inning with a leaping grab to save extra bases.
The Yankees got the scoring started in the bottom of the second, with one out when Jazz Chisholm launched a homer into the right field stands.
