The Yankees beat up on old friend Luis Severino in the first inning before he got hurt, then continued to add on the rest of the way while cruising to their fifth straight win, 8-2 over the Athletics on Friday night in front of a sell-out crowd of 12,254 at Sutter Health Park.<\/p>\n

Paul Goldschmidt, Ryan McMahon and Ben Rice all homered \u2014 Goldschmidt a three-run shot off Severino that keyed the first-inning attack \u2014 as the Yankees (35-22) stayed hot after outscoring the Royals 26-4 during their sweep in Kansas City earlier this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the type of offense we have,\u201d said Aaron Judge, who went 1-for-4 with a walk and two RBIs in a homecoming of sorts, having grown up an hour away. \u201cYou\u2019re going to have the ebbs and flows of the season, where you\u2019re going to have some down weeks, some down months, but when this offense is rolling like that and staying aggressive, we\u2019re at our best. That\u2019s what I feel like we did today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carlos Rod\u00f3n, pitching for the first time in over a week, grinded through six innings but allowed just one run \u2014 a solo homer to Nick Kurtz in the bottom of the first \u2014 while navigating some early traffic from the Athletics (27-30). <\/p>\n

The left-hander finished strong, retiring the final seven batters he faced, while becoming the eighth straight Yankees starter to allow two runs or fewer.<\/p>\n

After a 16-game stretch in which the Yankees scored just seven runs in a game one time, they have now scored seven or more in three straight games, once again getting contributions from all parts of the lineup.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fun to watch when we\u2019re clicking like that,\u201d said Rice, who went 3-for-5 and fell a triple short of the cycle.<\/p>\n

The Yankees had clobbered Severino here last year before he kept them in check in The Bronx in April. But back in the Triple-A stadium that Severino has expressed his frustrations about pitching in, the Yankees got to him again in his first and only inning before leaving the game with what the A\u2019s called \u201cright arm soreness.\u201d<\/p>\n
