Yankees stifled by Alex Wood, Athletics in 3-1 loss; settle for split of 4-game set

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.
