After three straight rousing victories, the Yankees lost a frustrating one, blowing a late 6-4 lead as their bullpen imploded. They’ll look to bounce back in the rubber game in Sacramento, and they’ll face an old friend in the process, as Luis Severino goes for the A’s. Sevy’s been solid thus far in his new digs, with a 3.62 ERA to his name over 49.2 innings.
