Matt Chapman homered, Tony Kemp had two hits, including an RBI single,
and a third Oakland run scored on a balk as the A's snapped a six-game losing
streak that had equaled the length of the one they had to open the season.
Aaron Judge had a double, a single and a ninth-inning home run for the
Yankees, whose 13-game winning streak matched the fourth-longest in franchise
history. They fell six victories short of the club record of 19 set in 1947.

retired the first two Oakland batters in the second inning of a scoreless game
before running into trouble.

inning as visiting Boston earned a victory over Cleveland.

rallied for a 4-3 victory in Friday's series opener and has won its last three
games, as well as five of its last six. Garrett Whitlock (6-2) pitched a
scoreless ninth inning for Boston to earn the victory.

Merrifield led off the game with his 10th homer of the season for the Royals.
Kansas City left-hander Daniel Lynch, who was 3-0 over his previous four
