NEW YORK, July 24 (UPI) -- Bartolo Colon hurled seven strong innings and Eduardo Nunez hit a go-ahead double Sunday in the New York Yankees' 7-5 victory over Oakland.

After David Robertson allowed two runs in the eighth, Mariano Rivera was summoned to make a four-out save and Yanks' closer responded with his 25th of the season.
New York grabbed the lead in the fourth when Russell Martin was hit by a pitch, Andruw Jones walked and Nunez lined a two-out, two-run double to left field.
Curtis Granderson clouted his 27th homer and Jones drove in a pair of runs for the Yankees, who took the rubber match of a three-game series with the A's.
Gio Gonzalez (9-7) was rocked for six runs on seven hits before exiting after only 4 2/3 innings for the A's.
Hideki Matsui had a big game against his former New York teammates, going 5-for-5 with a run scored.
