The Yankees tied the series with a 4-3 win on Tuesday, holding on to a three-run lead they took at the bottom of the first inning. Giancarlo Stanton punched a two-run double all the way to the warning track, then Anthony Rizzo fired off a two-run homer to humble Paul Blackburn and end his 100-hitter streak without giving up a home run.
But Blackburn was able to course-correct and keep New York from scoring again, even recording a crucial strikeout against Juan Soto. Meanwhile, the A’s gradually piled on runs against Marcus Stroman, including a fourth-inning home run from Lawrence Butler.
Now Clarke Schmidt will try to lead New York to a 2-1 lead in the series when he starts on Wednesday, against Joseph Boyle for Oakland.
New York hosts Oakland for Game 4 on Thursday before hitting the road against Milwaukee for a three-game series over the weekend.
