The A's drew 33,198 fans on a night they planned a postgame drone and fireworks show during the club's final homestand before a planned move to Sacramento for the next three seasons before hoping to head to Las Vegas in 2028. Oakland has dropped four straight games at the Coliseum with four remaining at home.

''Just really looking back to the first stadium I stepped on being considered a Yankee after I got drafted was coming out here for a little workout back in 2013,'' Judge recalled. ''And even looking back to taking my girlfriend at the time who is now my wife to a Yankees-A's game — which is so funny — when I was in high school. It's kind of full circle. I'll definitely miss coming here because of the fan support, the community that's here, it feels like home.''

Yankees: INF DJ LeMahieu has begun doing some light movement and recently hit off a tee as he resumes some baseball activity while recovering from a right hip impingement. Boone expected to know more about LeMahieu's chances of returning this season once the club returns home. ... 3B Jazz Chisholm Jr. had the night off ahead of the afternoon series finale. Boone had been wanting to get Jon Berti a game, so the timing worked well. Anthony Rizzo also rested as Oswaldo Cabrera eared a start at first base. ... Soto returned to the starting lineup batting second and playing right field a day after being scratched following a left leg injury sustained Thursday sliding into a wall to make a catch. He had a pinch-hit RBI double in the 10th inning of Friday's 4-2 win.

Athletics: RHP Ross Stripling tested his back injury by throwing in the bullpen and is scheduled to face hitters on Tuesday with a chance of still returning to pitch in the final weekend of the season.
