WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) --- Paul Goldschmidt hit a three-run homer, Ryan
McMahon and Ben Rice also went deep, and the New York Yankees beat the
Athletics 8-2 on Friday night for their fifth straight victory.
Goldschmidt connected in the first inning against Luis Severino (2-6) to stake
the Yankees to a 4-0 lead and they rolled from there behind a strong outing
from Carlos Rodon (1-2) for the win. Rodon allowed one run and four hits in six
innings.
Aaron Judge added two RBIs for New York and Rice moved into a tie with Judge
for the team lead with 17 homers on the season.
The Yankees outscored the opposition 36-6 during this current winning streak.
The A's lost their fourth straight on this homestand and also might have lost
Severino to an injury. Severino was grimacing after throwing warmup pitches
before the second inning and called for manager Mark Kotsay to come to the
mound with an athletic trainer. He left the game with what was described as a
sore right arm.
The game didn't get off to a good start for Severino, who allowed four unearned
runs in the first inning to fall to 0-3 in four career starts against his
former team.
After Rice reached on an error by first baseman Nick Kurtz, Severino allowed an
RBI single to Judge and the homer to Goldschmidt. Severino has allowed 19 runs
--- 15 earned --- in 13 2/3 innings in four starts against New York.
Kurtz hit a solo homer for the A's, who have been outscored 30-6 during this
four-game losing streak.
The A's have gone 13 straight games without getting a win from a starting
pitcher with starters going 0-9 with a 5.64 ERA during that stretch.
