The New York Yankees move to the second leg of their nine-game West Coast trip Monday afternoon when they open a three-game series against the Oakland Athletics. The Yankees lost two of three to Seattle to begin the trip, while Oakland has won four straight and just swept the Baltimore Orioles.
Bartolo Colon pitches today for the Yankees against Trevor Cahill (6-2, 2.02 ERA) of Oakland. Game time is 4:05 p.m.
Oakland is anchored by its pitching staff, which is young but sports the best ERA in baseball at 2.84. In Oaklnd's last 12 games the staff's ERA is 2.06. The Yankees lead the majors with 79 home runs, so this should be an interesting match-up.
