Veteran pitchers will go head-to-head for the third time in their careers when Alex Wood and the Oakland Athletics host Mitch Keller and the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night in the second contest of a three-game series. Riding the momentum of four wins over the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles on the road last week, the A's opened a 10-game homestand with arguably their best all-around performance of the season in a 5-1 win Monday. Joe Boyle combined with two relievers on a two-hitter and five different A's batters contributed extra-base hits.
After 1-2-3 first and second innings, Cortes gave up a home run to Nick Allen and a two-run shot to Tyler Nevin in the third inning which created a deficit too great for the Yankees to get out of. Dennis Santana and Victor Gonzalez both put up scoreless innings apiece out of the bullpen, but the Yankees' offense sputtered all night, leaving runners in scoring position several times.
The Yankees had plenty of chances to score but mustered just a single run while leaving 11 runners on base and going 1-for-7 with RISP in a 3-1 loss to the Oakland A’s.
