Instead, it turned out to be a return to frustrating form for the offense, underscored by two bases-loaded double plays and 11 strikeouts, ended in a 3-1 defeat at the hands of a subpar A's team.
The Yankees wasted their first golden opportunity in the first inning after hits from Anthony Volpe and Juan Soto and a four-pitch walk to Aaron Judge loaded the bases with no outs.
After reaching base for just the fourth time in his last 20 plate appearances on a leadoff single in the second, Gleyber Torres was picked off on an ill-timed ploy to catch Wood unaware.
