In 7.1 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 6, walking 2, and allowing no runs. The second-place Athletics have dropped 4 straight games.

Mickey Mantle had a big 3-run home run for the Yankees in the bottom of the fifth inning. With New York leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a cutter from Bill Holland and swatted a home run to right. It was his 6th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Yankees ahead, 5-0.

New York manager called it "a pretty good win."
