OAKLAND — Tony Kemp's two-run home run in the eighth inning gave the A's a 3-1 lead against the New York Yankees. His fifth home run of the year was his third against the Yankees. Kemp homered off Yankees reliever Chad Green in a rally that started with Mark Canha's double over left fielder Joey Gallo's head. In his third big league start this year, Paul Blackburn blanked the red-hot Yankees lineup through five innings. He gave up five hits, all singles hit in each inning, and struck out one and walked one.
