Rizzo's 2-run homer in 4-run first leads Yankees over Athletics 4-3 – Saratogian

Anthony Rizzo snapped a lengthy power drought with a two-run homer that capped a four-run first inning, and the New York Yankees held on for a 4-3 win over the Oakland Athletics. A day after getting shut out for the fourth time in their first 23 games, the Yankees fell behind when Seth Brown hit an RBI double in the first off Marcus Stroman . Giancarlo Stanton hit a go-ahead double against Paul Blackburn in the bottom half and Rizzo hit second home run of the season and his first since April 7.
