The losing streak is finally over!
The Oakland A’s snapped a six-game skid on Saturday, beating the New York Yankees 3-2 at the Coliseum. The A’s got a gem from their starting rotation, had a hit with runners in scoring position, made some chaos on the basepaths, and survived a bit of late drama in the 9th inning to lock in a desperately needed win.
One victory doesn’t erase the damage done in the standings over the past two weeks, as Oakland entered this afternoon having lost 10 of their previous 12 games including their last six straight.
