Walkoff, reversal lift Yanks past A’s
NEW YORK — Left fielder Brett Gardner threw out Matt Olson at the plate with the help of a replay reversal to help Aroldis Chapman escape a bases-loaded, no-outs jam in the ninth inning, and the Yankees beat the Oakland Athletics 7-6 on Saturday on Neil Walker's run-scoring single on the 11th to avoid New York's first three-game losing streak since August.
Gardner's one-hop throw to the plate was slightly to the first-base side, and Gary Sanchez had to reach for it and try for a sweep tag of the sliding Olson. The plate umpire made a safe call, but replays appeared to reveal Sanchez's catching mitt glancing Olson's jersey.
