Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - It was another one-run game and another
dramatic win for the Oakland Athletics.
Seth Smith smacked the game tying solo homer in the ninth and Coco Crisp
provided the game-winning RBI single in the 12th as the A's completed their
first four-game sweep of the Yankees at the Coliseum with 5-4 triumph on
Sunday.
The A's have won each of their last five contests by one run. They registered
their MLB-leading 11th walk-off win and the sixth in their last 11 home games
while moving to an MLB best 14-2 in July.
Jerry Blevins (3-0) tossed two scoreless innings in relief to pick up the win.
Curtis Granderson tallied two hits, including a solo homer, and a pair of runs
scored, while Alex Rodriguez smacked a two-run double for the Yankees, who
were last swept in a four-game set by the Toronto Blue Jays on May 22-25,
2003.
