Rick Langford went the route on a six-hitter as the A's ended the Yankees' four-game winning skein, downing New York, 7-3. A four-run first inning was highlighted by a solo homer Dwayne Murphy and two-run single by Kelvin Moore. Jimmy Sexton hit a bases-empty homer in the second, his first round-tripper since 1977.
