Yankees fans will recognize the twist in this weekend's series at the Stadium
Yankees fans will recognize the twist in this weekend's series at the Stadium originally appeared on Athlon Sports. At one point, all of the A's rotation coming into the Bronx this weekend to face the New York Yankees would have been wearing pinstripes. In a weird twist, the formerly Oakland A's rotation for the series at Yankee Stadium is a full-blown reunion with Mitch Spence, JP Sears, and Luis Severino. All three have worn pinstripes. All three have something to prove. Advertisement And you can be sure all three will be trying to beat the team that gave them their first shot. Former New York Yankees teammates Aaron Judge and Luis Severino at the 2018 All-Star Game at Nationals Park.© Geoff Burke-Imagn Images Spence is the newest ex-Yankee of the bunch. Drafted in the 10th round back in 2019, he was plucked by Oakland in the Rule 5 Draft just last December. He made his big league debut earlier this year and has quietly stuck around, mostly working in long relief. Friday's start will be his fifth of the season—and his first at Yankee Stadium. He saw the Yankees once already, giving up three runs on four hits in two innings on May 11. Now he gets his first taste of the Bronx crowd, which tends to remember names... and line scores. Then there's Sears. Yankees fans will recall the lefty who went 3-0 with a 2.05 ERA during a strong cameo in 2022 before getting shipped to Oakland in the Frankie Montas deal. That trade hasn't aged well on either side, but Sears looked like the lone bright spot—until recently. Advertisement He's been roughed up over his last seven outings, going 1-4 with an 8.72 ERA. Forty-five hits in 32 innings will do that. Still, lefties with command always get more chances. And then there's Severino. Once the Yankees' ace of the future, Severino racked up 33 wins and back-to-back All-Star nods in 2017 and 2018 before injuries took over the narrative. He had a bounce-back season with the Mets last year, then shocked just about everyone by signing a three-year, $67 million deal with Oakland. His return to the Bronx will be emotional—for him, maybe. For the fans? Let's just say it depends which version of Severino shows up. Three former Yankees. One weekend. And probably more than a few flashbacks.

Chisholm Jr. homers in 500th game and Yankees reach halfway point with 3-0 victory over A's
Associated Press — Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered on the first pitch he saw in his 500th game and the New York Yankees beat the Athletics 3-0 on Friday night to reach the halfway point of the season. Chisholm hit his fifth homer in 21 games since returning from an oblique injury on June 3 and gave the Yankees the lead in the second by driving a cutter from A's starter Mitch Spence (2-3) to the second deck in right field. As he rounded third, the third baseman shrugged his shoulders and did a little shuffle before crossing the plate.
