After many games of offensive struggles, it seems like the Yankees are getting into a groove offensively. The Yankees were able to collect 12 hits i the 6-3 win over Oakland Friday night.

Ivan Nova was able to pick up his 5th win of the season as he completed 7 innings of 3 run ball. He allowed 6 hits and struck out 4. He also walked 1. Nova finished with 101 pitches and 63 of them were for strikes.

The Yankees used the home run ball to their advantage as Mark Teixeira, Robinson Cano, and Nick Swisher all went yard in the win.

Rafael Soriano came on to pick up the save in the 9th. It is his 4th save of the season.

The Yankees will continue their west coast trip tomorrow when they play Game 2 of 3 against the Athletics.
