The Oakland A’s are the hottest team in the majors right now, but no baseball team wins every day.
The A’s finally met their match on Saturday, falling 7-5 to the New York Yankees in a hard-fought affair. The loss snaps a seven-game win streak for Oakland, and evens their series at Yankee Stadium ahead of tomorrow’s rubber match.
While the result didn’t go the A’s way, they did plenty to get excited about along the way. They built an early lead and after six innings they led 4-2, but the exhausted bullpen finally blinked and wasn’t able to conjure up another round of magic on this afternoon.
