Kurt Suzuki was willing to give up the body as he went back behind the plate to make the spectacular diving catch!


Robbie Cano, yeah we know he loves his applesauce!


Daric Barton took major offense when they made the movie: "White man can't jump" as he reaches up and snags the ball out of the air!


Robbie Cano, with a beautiful turn on the game ending double play!

Pounding Trevor Cahill, who allows 4 runs, the Yankees are able to pick up a win.

The Yankees were in Oakland today, busy edging the Athletics 5-4 in a one-run contest playing in front of 26,317 mostly sad fans at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. The offense was paced by Alex Rodriguez, who went 2-for-3 and knocked in 2 runs. Javier went the first 6 and a third innings, giving up 3 runs on 9 hits, to pick up his 1st win of the season. A-Rod took some questions from reporters after the game. "We got to Trevor Cahill quickly today. We were able to keep him out of a good rhythm, and came away with the win."

Game 2 is this evening, with Phil Hughes (0-0, 1.50) taking the mound for the visiting Yankees and Ben Sheets (0-2, 6.91) getting the nod for the Athletics.
