Scattering 10 hits, Matt Keough pitched the A's to a 5-2 victory, ending the Yankees' nine-game winning streak. The A's jumped on top in their first turn at bat on a two-out single by Mike Heath and homer by Jeff Newman.

Another tally followed in the fourth on a double by Tony Armas, fly out by Mickey Klutts and throwing error by left fielder Joe Lefebvre. A sacrifice fly by Dwayne Murphy produced a run in the seventh and Armas concluded the A's scoring with a solo homer in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
