The Yankees defeated the Athletics 2-1 on Friday as Russell Martin led the Yankees to a walk-off win with his home run in the tenth inning.
C.C. Sabathia started for the Yankees and he was solid. Sabathia allowed 0 runs on 3 hits in 8 innings of work. He struck out 11 and walked only 2 batters. Sabathia finished his outing with 113 pitches thrown, in which 71 of them were for strikes.
Rafael Soriano came on in the ninth inning, but could not save the game for the Yankees. Soriano blew his fourth save of the season after allowing a game-tying home run to Brandon Moss.
Curtis Granderson drove in the first Yankee run with a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning. The game would remain scoreless until the ninth inning when Brandon Moss hit a game-tying home run. Russell Martin would lead off the tenth inning with a solo-shot to left field to give the Yankees the win.
The Yankees and Athletics will continue their three game set tomorrow.
