A’s saddle Yanks with 5th loss in row

OAKLAND, Calif. — Ryon Healy went deep twice for his third multihomer game in two weeks, Matt Joyce also hit a long ball and the Athletics beat the Yankees 5-2 on Saturday.

Austin Romine and Brett Gardner drove in runs for the Yanks, who have lost a seasonhigh five straight.

Masahiro Tanaka had an upand-down day while losing to the A’s for the second time this season. Tanaka struck out 10 but allowed five runs and eight hits, including three home runs, in four innings.

“Mistakes,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “A splitter that didn’t do what it’s supposed to, a slider that didn’t do what it’s supposed to, both of those to Healy.”

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

It was the fifth time this season that Healy, who singled in the seventh, has had three hits or more in a game.

“I still think it’s getting there,” Healy said. “I’m not satisfied with the consistency of it. There are things that I’m still not doing well enough on a day-to-day basis. Fortunately, I’m still able to go out and compete.”

Matt Joyce reached base five times, Jesse Hahn (3-4) pitched five innings to beat the Yankees for the first time in his career and Jed Lowrie had an RBI single. The A’s have won six of their last eight at home.

Khris Davis struck out four times for the A’s and heard some boos when he popped a ball up and began to walk to the dugout in the third. The wind-blown ball fell in fair territory, and Davis was easily retired.
