The Yankees were unable to increase their win streak to three on Tuesday as they were defeated 6-4 in the opener against the Athletics. The Yankee offense was silent for most of the game until they started to rally late, but it wasn't enough. C.C. Sabathia had a poor outing and suffered his fifth loss of the season.

Sabathia allowed six runs on eight hits in six innings of work. He struck out three and walked one. He finished his outing with 97 pitches thrown in which 63 of them were thrown for strikes.

With the score 6-0 in the eighth inning, the Yankees finally got on the board as Mark Teixeira singled in Brett Gardner to make it a 6-1 game. Vernon Wells would drive in Robinson Cano with a single later in the eighth inning.

The Yankees would go on to collect two more runs in the ninth inning on a Mark Teixeira two-run single.

The Yankees and Athletics will continue their three-game set tomorrow night.

The Yankees were able to take the four-game series from the Mariners three games to one as they defeated them 2-1 on Sunday. David Phelps matched Felix Hernandez as he kept the Mariners at bay. Phelps ended up with a no decision, but it was a positive sign for him as he contended with Hernandez.

Phelps allowed one run on three hits in six innings of work. He struck out six, but walked three batters. He concluded his outing with 99 pitches thrown, in which 62 of them were for strikes.

The Yankees got on the board early as Brett Gardner drove in Jayson Nix with a single in the second inning.

With the game tied at one in the ninth inning, Chris Stewart, who is not known for his offense, drove in Ichiro Suzuki to take a 2-1 lead late.

Mariano Rivera came on in the ninth inning and earned save number twenty three of the season.

The Yankees will enjoy an off day tomorrow before beginning a three-game set against the Athletics in Oakland.
