It’s the Catcher Interference Series
It was like deja vu all over again, sorta, with a catcher’s interference playing a key role at Yankee Stadium for the second straight game.
This time the interference call went in the Oakland A’s favor instead of against them, putting them in position to avenge last night’s defeat, but it wasn’t quite enough as their comeback attempt fell short in a 2-1 loss to New York on Tuesday.

The Yankees got both of their runs early, and some sharp defense by the A’s prevented them from scoring even more. However, Oakland collected only six hits of their own and rarely reached scoring position at all. They finally pushed across a run in the 9th inning, with some help from New York’s defense, but the rally was too little too late.
