Vida Blue scored the tie-breaking run on a wild pitch and gained his 22nd victory as the Athletics defeated the Yankees, 6-4. The southpaw gave up 10 hits, the most he had ever yielded in a game, and had to struggle for his triumph. The Yankees loaded the bases on two hits and a walk in the seventh inning and took a 4-2 lead on successive pinch-doubles by John Ellis and Ron Hansen.
