Yankees Suffer One-Run Loss at Oakland
Both teams had their opportunities, but in the end, the Oakland Athletics got the win.

The Oakland Athletics rode a solid performance from 26-year-old starting pitcher George Kirby to a win, beating the New York Yankees, 3-2, at Oakland Coliseum. Kirby yielded 2 runs over 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 3 hits, walked 2, and struck out 7. His record improves to 9-11.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Athletics had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the fifth, when right fielder Pedro Leon hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Taylor Clarke and made the score 3-0, Athletics. Leon went 2 for 3 with 2 singles.

Leon said his team "played with determination."

The victory gives Oakland a record of 81-73.
