Athletics end Yankees’ run

New York had won 13 in a row

The New York Yankees’ 13-game winning streak ended as Frankie Montas pitched seven shutout innings and the host Oakland Athletics held on for a 3-2 victory Saturday.

Matt Chapman homered to help stop the Yankees’ best run in nearly 60 years. The A’s had lost six in a row and 10 of 12 before handing the charging Yankees their first loss since Aug. 12 in Chicago against the White Sox.

The Yankees trailed 3-0 in the ninth inning when Anthony Rizzo reached on a bloop single with one out and Aaron Judge followed with his 29th homer, connecting against Sergio Romo.

But Romo got Giancarlo Stanton to pop out and Joey Gallo to ground out for his first save since 2020.

“A loss is a loss. It’s time to start another streak, that’s all,” Judge said

The Yankees’ streak was their best since a 13-game winning streak in September 1961 fueled by Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris. Before that, the the Yankees assembled a 15-game charge in 1960.
