#1 Barbara, tough two losses for the Sacramento A’s and both of the losses were not even close and there was no mercy rule. The New York Yankees defeated the A’s on Friday night 10-2 and won against by ten runs on Sunday 12-2.

#2 New York Yankee slugger Aaron Judge got four hits and is hitting the Ted Williams line at .400. Ben Rice assisted with a grand slam as the Yankees poured it on A’s pitching.

#3 Judge got a two run base hit when the Yankees rallied for five runs in the top of the second inning against former Yankee pitcher Luis Severino. Severino was hoping to have some success against his former teammates but they knew too well.

#4 The line for Severino four innings nine hits, eight runs all earned, two walks and two strike outs. Certainly Severino was giving it his best effort but the Yankees were seeing his pitches and took advantage of it.

#5 The A’s try and turnover a new leaf they’ve had better luck on the road and open a six game road trip Tue May 12 against the Los Angeles Dodgers at the Dodgers Stadium. The A’s are still holding a second place tie in the AL West with the Houston. Starting pitchers for Tuesday for Sacramento A’s manager Mark Kotsay he hasn’t decided yet and for the Dodgers RHP Landon Knack (2-0 ERA 4.61) first pitch 7:10pm PDT.
