The New York Yankees have a penchant for dramatics. One day removed from their thrilling walk-off victory in extra innings against the Houston Astros, they scored a comeback win against the Oakland Athletics.
The Yankees opened their three-game series against the traveling A's with a dub. This was the Bombers' 23rd come-from-behind victory this season. They now own a 52-20 record and still hold the best record in the majors.
New York opened the scoring through Anthony Rizzo's 20th home run of the season. The solo shot gave the Yankees a 1-0 lead before the Athletics unleashed a five-run third inning, the highlight of which was an Elvis Andrus bases-clearing double.

"Rizzo Rakes 💪 #TeamRizzo" - @ New York Yankees
Giancarlo Stanton homered in the fourth, and Aaron Judge scored an RBI single in the fifth to keep the lead manageable for the Yankees.
In the bottom of the seventh, the New York Yankees uncorked a six-run inning as all of their batters in the order were able to make a plate appearance. The highlight was Josh Donaldson's double that drove in Judge and Rizzo and gave the Yankees a 6-5 lead.
New York would score three more runs in the inning to seal the 9-5 victory. It was their fourth comeback win in the last week, and their fans are ecstatic about their success this season.
Fans also adored the team's unwavering mentality to come back from games that seemed lost.
The Yankees have certainly put the league on notice with their play this year. Anything less than a playoff spot would be a huge letdown for the team and their fanbase.
