Vida Blue extended his personal winning streak to six games, pitching the Athletics to a 2-0 victory over the Yankees. Sal Bando homered in the fifth inning for the only run that Blue needed, but the A's added another tally in the eighth on a triple by Bert Campaneris and sacrifice fly by Deron Johnson.
