OAKLAND — Carlos Beltran hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the sixth, Brian McCann and Chase Headley drove in runs and the New York Yankees ended a four-game losing streak in Oakland, beating the Athletics 5-3 on Saturday night.

Chasen Shreve (2-1) struck out all four batters he faced to earn the win. Andrew Miller pitched the ninth for his 15th consecutive save.

Yankees starter Nathan Eovaldi lasted 4â…” innings, allowing three runs on 11 hits. He did not walk a batter and struck out two.

Beltran added an RBI single in the eighth.
