Yankees face A's, look for 13th straight win

California native Gerrit Cole hopes to help the New York Yankees extend their winning streak on Friday when he pitches against the host Oakland Athletics.

The Yankees took a bumpy road to a 12th straight win in the series opener on Thursday. They scored the game's first six runs before watching the A's draw even. New York then received a two-out, tie-breaking single from Aaron Judge in the ninth inning for a 7-6 victory.
