A’s Stunning Rally in Final Inning Stuns Yankees, Sealing 3-2 Victory

Things quieted down until the fourth inning when Lawrence Butler kicked off a rally that stringed together hits from Max Muncy and Jeff McNeil, bringing in the first run and igniting a surge that clawed the Athletics back into the game. By the time a wild pitch helped tie the game at 2, the energy had shifted palpably. Severino steadied himself after a shaky start, racking up seven strikeouts over five innings, a testament to his resilience facing his old squad.

From there, the bullpens took over, refusing to yield through scoreless stints, leading to that thrilling ninth inning where Brent Rooker’s sac fly sealed the deal. Manager Mark Kotsay’s call to rookie Joel Kuhnel to close out the game was a masterstroke — Kuhnel didn’t flinch, striking out the side and earning his first save of the season, capping off a tightly contested battle.
