Yankees 7, Athletics 2
Vin Mazzaro allowed two runs -- one earned -- in five innings. (AP)
Errors hampered the A's during Vin Mazzaro's five solid innings, and a passed ball, a hit-by-pitch and two walks didn't help in a five-run sixth inning. Kurt Suzuki went deep one pitch after nearly being hit by CC Sabathia, and Tommy Everidge homered in the second, but Oakland was stifled after that.
