Mandatory Credit: Joe Nicholson-Imagn Images Amed Rosario gave the New York Yankees the lead by hitting a three-run home run with one out in the eighth inning en route to a 5-3 victory Tuesday night over the visiting Athletics.
The Yankees improved to 8-2 through their first 10 games for the second time in three seasons. New York has won eight of its first 10 games for the 11th time in team history.
Facing former New York reliever Mark Leiter Jr. (0-1), Cody Bellinger and Ben Rice started the comeback with singles, putting runners at first and third for Giancarlo Stanton.
Stanton hit a soft single that eluded shortstop Jacob Wilson and cut the lead to 3-2. After center fielder Denzel Clarke made a diving catch on Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s sinking liner, Rosario blasted an 0-1 splitter into the left field seats for a 5-3 lead.
Rosario also homered off A’s starter Aaron Civale in the second inning for New York’s first run. It was the veteran infielder’s third career multi-homer game and first since Aug. 31, 2021 for the Cleveland Guardians.
It was only Rosario’s third start of the season.
New York starter Cam Schlittler allowed his first three runs of the season, all in the third inning, following his scoreless starts in San Francisco and Seattle. Schlittler scattered five hits in five innings, struck out seven and walked none.
Nick Kurtz hit a two-run double and Tyler Soderstrom added an RBI double when the A’s had four hits in the third and took a 3-1 lead.
Civale allowed Rosario’s homer among two hits in five innings. He struck out six, withstood four walks and retired Stanton to end the first and third innings with runners on.
Four relievers followed Schlittler with four innings. Fernando Cruz struck out Max Muncy with two on to end the eighth and David Bednar pitched a perfect ninth for his fifth save.
