Athletics vs. Yankees game thread

The Oakland Athletics will try to make it two straight wins Tuesday night when they continue a four-game series against the New York Yankees. Paul Blackburn will look to continue his good start to the season for Oakland while New York will go with right-hander Marcus Stroman.

For the A’s, Esteury Ruiz will get a rare start against a right hander and will play center and hit leadoff. Ryan Noda moves up to the second spot in the order and will play first base. Tyler Nevin will be at third base and will hit fifth.

The Yankees will run the same lineup as Monday’s opener with the exception of Austin Wells, who will catch and bat ninth.

First pitch is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. PDT and can be seen on NBCSCA.
