Ginn (3-3) allowed one unearned run in six innings to give the A&#8217;s their first win by a starting pitcher since May 15 as he silenced the streaking Yankees. New York had won five straight, outscoring the opposition by 30 runs.<\/p>\n<p>Scott Barlow retired Jazz Chisholm with the bases loaded in the ninth for his second save after walking the first three batters he faced to force in three runs.<\/p>\n<p>The A&#8217;s made sure the Yankees would have to play from behind in this game when Langeliers connected for a two-run shot off Ryan Weathers (2-3) in the first inning.<\/p>\n<p>Tyler Soderstrom added a solo shot in the sixth and Kurtz hit his 10th homer of the season in the seventh to make it 5-1.<\/p>\n<p>Weathers again got little run support and is winless in four straight starts despite striking out 10 batters in 6 2-3 innings. He has the third lowest run support of any qualified pitcher this season.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees got their only run off Ginn in the fourth when Jazz Chisholm stole second with Bellinger on third. The throw hit off second baseman Alika Williams&#8217; glove for an error, allowing Bellinger to score.<\/p>\n<p>There was a dispute over the ABS system in the fourth inning. Langeliers challenged a 2-0 pitch that he thought was low. The replay didn&#8217;t appear on the scoreboard but after a delay, home plate umpire Adam Beck announced it was a strike even though the\u00a0replay on MLB.com\u00a0showed the pitch was 0.8 inches low. It ended up being mostly moot as Langeliers eventually drew a walk.<\/p>\n<p>RH Will Warren (6-1, 3.55 ERA) will start the series finale for the Yankees. The A&#8217;s hadn&#8217;t announced a starter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014 Shea Langeliers and Nick Kurtz each hit two-run homers to lead the Athletics to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":705478,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-705477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/705477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=705477"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/705477\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/705478"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=705477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=705477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=705477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
