A’s get past the Yankees 5-2

for his third multihomer game in two weeks, Matt Joyce also hit a long ball and the Athletics beat the New York Yankees 5-2 on Saturday.

“I think it’s been really impressive, obviously, what he did today, but what he’s done as a whole this season,” Oakland reliever Sean Doolittle said after Healy hit his eighth home run in 14 games. “I don’t think he got off to the start he wanted to, at least in April. You look at the scoreboard now and look where his numbers are at ... you could put him in the All-Star conversation.”

Healy hit a tying solo home run in the second inning, then put the A’s up with his 17th home run leading off the fourth. The slugger also had two home runs against Washington on June 3 and against Toronto on June 5.
