Shea Langeliers and Nick Kurtz drilled two-run homers and Tyler Soderstrom hit a solo shot as the Athletics notched a 6-4 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday night at West Sacramento, Calif.
J.T. Ginn pitched six solid innings as the Athletics snapped a four-game losing streak.
Kurtz went 3-for-4 and scored twice and Soderstrom reached four times on three hits and one walk.
New York had just six hits - none producing a run -- while seeing a five-game winning streak come to an end.
Ginn (3-3) gave up just one unearned run and four hits. He struck out four and walked three.
The Yankees loaded the bases with two outs in the ninth with a single and two walks against Jack Perkins. Scott Barlow entered and walked Ben Rice, Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger in succession to force in three runs before getting Jazz Chisholm Jr. to bounce out to first to post his second save.
New York's Ryan Weathers (2-3) served up three homers and allowed five runs and six hits over 6 2/3 innings. He matched a season-best with 10 strikeouts and walked three.
Weathers retired the first two batters in the seventh with the Yankees trailing 3-1. He then walked Colby Thomas to bring Kurtz to the plate.
Manager Aaron Boone scurried out to talk to Weathers, but the left-hander remained in the game.
In turn, Kurtz smacked the first pitch to the wall and New York center fielder Trent Grisham leaped but couldn't catch the drive that gave the Athletics a 5-1 lead, ending Weathers' outing.
In the eighth inning, Jake Bird hit Brent Rooker with a pitch and Soderstrom followed with a double. One out later, Zach Gelof singled to left to score Rooker.
Kurtz singled with one out in the first before Langeliers came to the plate. Weathers threw a 2-2 fastball that Langeliers jumped on and sent the ball flying 426 feet to center to give the A's a 2-0 lead.
The Yankees got a run in the fourth with help from two Athletics' errors.
Bellinger walked with one out and Chisholm followed with a single to center with Bellinger moving to third when Henry Bolte fumbled the ball.
Chisholm then attempted to steal second and Langeliers' throw was on the mark but Alika Williams failed to catch the ball for an error and it went into center field, scoring Bellinger.
In the sixth, Soderstrom sent a 1-0 fastball from Weathers over the wall in right-center to make it 3-1.
