The New York Yankees took it on the chin once again by the Oakland Athletics, getting drilled at the Stadium last night, 8-2. With last night’s loss, the Yanks are 0-4 this year against the A’s. If they are going to solve their Oakland woes, it will be today when their young flame thrower, Domingo Germán, gets the nod in Game 2 of a 3-game set. Germán is 17-3 with a 4.03 ERA. He will try to become the League’s first 18 game winner and the chances of that look good. Germán is 8-1, with an ERA of 2.24 this year in the Bronx, and has 7 wins with just 1 loss since the All-Star break. Oakland will counter with the veteran, Homer Bailey. Since being acquired from Kansas City, he is 5-2 but his ERA is high at 5.52, and the way the Yankees clobber the ball, that could be an issue. Consider the Bombers.
