The Yankees have lost eight of 10. Their 11-19 start is their worst in 39 years. Oakland had lost its previous three games.

Mariano Rivera (2-2) walked Scutaro to start the 10th and hit Jason Kendall with a pitch. Eric Chavez then reached on a one-out, infield single to load the bases.

Scott Hatteberg next hit a ground ball to first baseman Tino Martinez, who bobbled it and then threw wildly -- allowing Scutaro and Kendall to score.

Chavez was thrown out at the plate on a grounder by Charles Thomas, but Erubiel Durazo's grounder was booted by Alex Rodriguez. Rivera then walked Keith Ginter with the bases loaded for the third run of the inning.
