 The Yankees were swept in a four-game set the last time they traveled to Oakland in June 2017, with all four starting pitchers allowing at least four earned runs and posting a collective 7.78 ERA in that series.

 The Yankees and Athletics have each hit 63 home runs since the All-Star break, tied for the MLB lead. The Athletics also rank first in MLB with 96 doubles since the break, while the Yankees rank 29th with 50 doubles.

 Gleyber Torres will play in his 100th game today. He is one of five Yankees in the live-ball era (since 1920) with 20+ home runs and 65+ RBI through 100 games in pinstripes; the other four are Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Joe Gordon, and Joe DiMaggio.

 Stephen Piscotty tied career highs yesterday by slugging two home runs and driving in five runs. He has hit .368 (7-for-19) and slugged .895 during his five-game hitting streak.

 CC Sabathia has made three consecutive quality starts, but has walked multiple batters in each of his last nine starts. He earned a win in each of his last three starts against the A's, once in each of the past three seasons.

 Trevor Cahill threw a season-low 3.1 innings in his last start and walked six batters, a total he has matched or topped only four times in his career. His career 11.37 ERA and .349 opponent batting average against the Yankees are the worst marks by any active pitcher (minimum five starts).
