Jurickson Profar delivered two tiebreaking hits to atone for his role in a double play that was fully reversed, and the visiting Oakland Athletics beat the Yankees, 8-2, on Friday night.

Profar connected in the second for a 1-0 lead and added a two-run double in the sixth for a 4-2 edge. That made up for his flawed footwork as the pivot on a blown double play in the fourth that led to a Yankees run.

Oakland pulled within a half-game of Cleveland for the top American League wild card spot and held its one-game edge over Tampa Bay for the second. The Athletics swept a three-game series against the Yankees in Oakland last week.

The Yankees ended a four-game winning streak hours after placing Gio Urshela on the 10-day injured list, giving the club a record 29 players on the I.L. this season.
