In a tightly contested game at Yankee Stadium, the Oakland Athletics edged out the New York Yankees with a 3-2 victory, tying the series. Yankees closer David Bednar encountered difficulties in the ninth inning, allowing a leadoff single followed by a double that led to the go-ahead run. The Yankees initially took the lead with two runs in the first inning, thanks to Luis Severino, who returned to the mound after injury. However, despite a strong start, Severino struggled with control, walking four batters and allowing two earned runs over five innings. The Yankees' offense faltered throughout the game, finishing 1 for 7 with runners in scoring position and leaving seven men on base. With the series tied, the teams will face off again, with Ryan Weathers starting for the Yankees and Jeffrey Spring for the Athletics in the final game.
