Mark Canha's RBI single in 11th gives A's 3-2 win over Yankees

Jed Lowrie's four hits powered Oakland to its third straight victory on Tuesday.|

NEW YORK — Jed Lowrie tied his career high with four hits, doubling in the 11th inning and scoring the go-ahead run on Mark Canha's single to lead the Oakland Athletics over the New York Yankees 3-2 on Tuesday night.

After two more scoreless innings from the Yankees' dynamic duo of Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller, rookie Johnny Barbato (1-1) pitched a perfect 10th.

But Lowrie doubled into the right-field corner against Barbato with one out in the 11th, then took third on a groundout by Khris Davis, who had struck out in his previous three at-bats. Canha singled off the glove of a diving Didi Gregorius at shortstop and into left field for his second RBI this season.

Fernando Rodriguez (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings for the A's, and Ryan Madson got three straight outs for his fifth save in five chances.

Oakland has won three straight following a four-game losing streak. The A's are 5-3 in one-run games. They did not get their fifth one-run victory last year until June 15.

Oakland's Eric Surkamp pitched 5â…” innings, one shy of his big league high, and also gave up two runs and seven hits.

Carlos Beltran's sacrifice fly put the Yankees ahead 2-1 in the fifth. The A's Danny Valencia tripled off the glove of diving left fielder Brett Gardner leading off the sixth and scored on Lowrie's one-out single.
