OAKLAND, Calif. — The Yankees looked bad at the plate early in the evening and deep into the night, and eventually it cost them.
Their winning streak ended at five games Friday night when the Oakland Athletics pulled out a 3-2 win in 11 innings on a throwing error by second baseman DJ LeMahieu.
With two on and one out in the 11th and Lou Trivino pitching, A’s right fielder Chad Pinder rolled a grounder to shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa that should have been an inning-ending double play. But LeMahieu threw wildly to first base and Shea Langeliers raced home to score the winning run.
“There’s no many other people you’d want the ball in their hands right there,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “He just threw wide.”
The loss was official after the Yankees lost a replay challenge on the slide into second, which Boone knew was a shot in the dark.
“Last play of the game, we just wanted to make sure it was clean and I think it was the right call,” Boone said.
The Yankees managed only one hit, a sixth-inning double by rookie Oswaldo Cabrera, and scored their only runs in the 10th inning of a scoreless game on a wild pitch.
The game was scoreless until the 10th when a bases-loaded wild pitch by lefty reliever AJ Puk that led to a throwing error by catcher Sean Murphy.
The Yanks were almost home free, but rookie right-hander Ron Marinaccio’s hot streak ended on his first try at closing out a game.
With one down and the ghost runner on third base in the A’s 10th, pinch-hitter Stephen Vogt hit a two-run homer to right on a changeup from Marinaccio, who had pitched a scoreless ninth to send the game to extras still scoreless.
“I don’t think it was that bad of a pitch,” Boone said. “It looked like it had the right action on it. It maybe caught a lot of the plate, but it’s usually something that’s really effective for (Marinaccio) and I think Vogt just went up there hunting it and he put a great swing on it.”
Marinaccio entered the game with a 1.72 ERA and one earned run allowed over 27 1/3 innings in his last 23 outings dating to May 22.
The starting pitching was as good as it gets from one of the Yankees’ fill-ins and an unheralded Oakland Athletics rookie you probably never heard of.
Domingo German and Adam Oller were fantastic. Through five innings, nobody had a hit on either team.
German pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings, limiting the Athletics to three hits while striking out five and walking none to lower his ERA to 3.19.
Coming in with a 6.41 ERA in 16 outings plus three options to Triple-A this season, Otter was even better pitching a one-hit shutout over eight innings with three strikeouts and one walk. He also faced the minimum due to a double-play groundball and two pickoffs, the first after Aaron Judge walked in the first inning and the other after Cabrera doubled to lead off the Yankees sixth for the first hit by either team.
The A’s didn’t get a hit until one out in the sixth when No. 9 hitter Nick Allen reached second base on an infield single and throwing error by German.
German fielded a chopper to the right side of the mound, but his throw to first was a little late to get the speedy Allen and sailed past Anthony Rizzo. German got out of the jam by retiring leadoff hitter Tony Kemp on a grounder to second and striking out Shea Langeliers.
“Domingo was terrific,” Boone said. “I looked up there (at the scoreboard). He was 16 batters in and had thrown nine balls. He was ahead in the count and using everything. He was really sharp, really efficient and had an awesome pace.”
NOTABLE
-- One night after hitting his 49th homer, Judge was 0-for-3 with a walk, two flyouts to right field and a strikeout.
-- Reliever Aroldis Chapman went on the 15-day IL due to a bad infection from a new tattoo on his leg.
-- Reliever Zack Britton departed his rehab outing with Low-A Tampa after 10 pitches with a glute injury. This was his second minor-league game in three days after not pitching since undergoing Tommy John surgery last September.
-- Catcher Jose Trevino said he was “good to go,” but sat out Saturday’s game after leaving Friday’s one inning after being hit by a pitch in the right big toe. He’s expected to sit out Sunday’s game, as well.
