The Yankees were unable to defeat the Athletics on Thursday night as they were defeated 4-3. Robinson Cano extended his hitting streak to 23 games and the team extended their streak to 43 of scoring 3 or more runs.
Freddy Garcia started for the Yankees and he struggled. Garcia allowed 4 runs on 9 hits in 5 2/3 innings pitched. He struck out 6 and walked 2. He finished his outing with 105 pitches, in which 68 of them were for strikes.
The Yankees got on the board in the sixth inning when they scored two runs by a Mark Teixeira sacrifice fly and a Nick Swisher RBI single. Swisher would later hit a home run in the ninth inning.
The Yankees fell just short of a victory tonight. These two teams will battle it out once again on Friday.
