The A’s completed the sweep of the team with the largest payroll in M.L.B. today with a great effort by their starting pitcher Bartolo Colon who only gave up 4 runs on 8 hits and was able to give Oakland 6-2/3′s innings to help get the A’s the sweep. Oakland’s offense also came through and showed this team has a lot of heart. The A’s were down early 4-0 after four innings. They couldn’t get any runs from Yankees starter CC Sabathia who looked UN-hittable until the fifth inning.
