The Athletics were held to two hits by Mike Torrez and lost to the Yankees, 3-0, for their 13th straight defeat in the club's longest losing streak since moving to Oakland in 1968. The A's actually beat themselves. All three Yankee runs off Pablo Torrealba were unearned on errors by Marty Perez and Manny Sanguillen. [The Sporting News]
