Aaron Judge’s Clutch Single Helps New York Yankees Defeat Oakland A’s for 12th Consecutive Win! – OnMyWay Mobile App User News

 Aaron Judge hit a tiebreaking single with two outs in the ninth inning, Giancarlo Stanton homered for the third consecutive game and the New York Yankees beat the Oakland Athletics 7-6 on Thursday night for their 12th straight victory and longest winning streak in nearly 60 years.

Aroldis Chapman closed it out for his 300th career save, becoming the 31st pitcher to reach the milestone. Jonathan Loaisiga (9-4) struck out two over two innings for the win.

Joey Gallo crushed a three-run drive in the third for a 6-0 lead before Oakland came back, tying it on Josh Harrison’s homer in the fifth.

Judge doubled leading off the eighth as New York loaded the bases against Sergio Romo, who escaped unscathed. Lou Trivino (5-7) began the ninth hours after manager Bob Melvin said he would remain the closer despite consecutive blown saves after converting 14 straight.

Anthony Rizzo drew a two-out walk from Trivino and Tyler Wade entered as a pinch-runner. He stole second and reached third on catcher Sean Murphy’s throwing error before coming home on Judge’s line drive.

New York has the club’s longest winning streak since a run of 13 straight victories from Sept. 1-12, 1961, and the Yankees moved a season-best 23 games above .500 at 75-52.

Matt Chapman and Murphy hit back-to-back homers in the third, the fifth time the A’s have done so this season. Chapman drew a bases-loaded walk and Elvis Andrus a two-run single that chased Taillon in the A’s three-run fourth.

Oakland right-hander James Kaprielian struck out eight but was clobbered from the start after he had been 2-0 with a 3.31 ERA in three starts since coming off the injured list.

The stumbling A’s, who reached the playoffs each of the past three seasons, lost their fifth straight — four by two or fewer runs — on a night attendance was a dismal 8,147.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Yankees: INF Gio Urshela came off the 10-day injured list after missing 23 games with a strained left hamstring. He started at third batting eighth. … SS Gleyber Torres (sprained left thumb) has increased his baseball activity with Double-A Somerset and is expected to begin a rehab assignment Sunday. … RHP Corey Kluber (right shoulder strain) rejoined the Yankees and is set to start Monday on the road against the Angels. … LHP Zack Britton, dealing with a sprained pitching elbow, is scheduled to be examined Monday by Dr. Neal ElAttrache to determine the next steps and whether to have surgery. … RHP Luis Severino, who had Tommy John surgery in late February 2020, has been cleared to start his throwing program again after ElAttrache evaluated him.

Athletics: RHP Chris Bassitt will travel back to the Bay Area on Friday following facial surgery in Chicago, where he was hit with a line drive last week. The operation repaired the pitcher’s cheekbone that was fractured in three places. … Also Friday, RF Stephen Piscotty will have left wrist surgery in Arizona. He was examined Thursday by hand specialist Dr. Mark Leber, who will perform the procedure. The A’s aren’t ruling out a return this season. … RHP Mike Fiers will throw a bullpen Friday for the first time as he works back from a sprained pitching elbow.

UP NEXT

RHP Gerrit Cole (12-6, 2.92 ERA) pitches Friday night on an extra day of rest trying to keep the roll going and win his third straight start.

LHP Sean Manaea (8-8, 3.77) takes the mound for the A’s trying to salvage an August win after going 0-2 with a 9.77 ERA in four starts this month — none of which has gone further than five innings.
