Rizzo's 2
NEW YORK (AP) — 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 on Tuesday night.
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 (2-1).
Giancarlo Stanton had a go-ahead two-RBI double against Paul Blackburn (2-1) in the bottom half, after which Rizzo hit his second home run and his first since April 7.
Blackburn had not allowed a home run in four previous starts this season.
Rizzo, who missed the final two months of last season with post-concussion syndrome, had just one extra-base hit in 54 at-bats between homers.
“Every time I go up to the plate, I just try to have good at-bats,” Rizzo said. “Sometimes you look really good and sometimes you don’t.”
