The Yankees were defeat by the Athletics 5-4 on Sunday, which was them their fourth consecutive loss. This was the first time that they were swept in Oakland by the Athletics.

The Yankees went into the ninth inning up by 1, but Rafael Soriano couldn't shut the door. He allowed a game-tying home run to Seth Smith which sent the game into extras. The Yankees would eventually lose in the twelfth inning on a Coco Crisp walk-off single.
