Rosario’s Two Homers Propel Yankees Past Athletics 5-3

A Late Surge Seals Victory

In the eighth inning at Yankee Stadium, Amed Rosario delivered a go‑ahead three‑run blast, capping a pair of home runs that turned a 2‑2 tie into a 5‑3 lead over the Oakland Athletics. The decisive shot—a Statcast‑projected 414‑foot drive—came just two batters after Giancarlo Stanton’s single drove in Cody Bellinger to make it 3‑2.

Pitching and Lineup Notes

Right‑hander Aaron Civale (5.00 ERA) worked five innings for Oakland, allowing two runs on four hits. New York countered with rookie Cam Schlittler, who entered the series with a 2‑0 record and a flawless 0.00 ERA, keeping the A’s offense in check.

Implications

The win improves the Yankees’ record to 7‑2, solidifying first place in the AL East, while the Athletics fall to a 3‑13 mark at Yankee Stadium. Rosario’s performance, his first multi‑homer game of the season, highlights New York’s depth as the early season race intensifies.
