OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Gerrit Cole struck out 11 in his first win since July 17, Aaron Judge hit a three-run homer for No. 49 on the season and the Yankees’ 200th, and New York beat the Oakland Athletics 3-2. Cole allowed one run on three hits over 7 1/3 innings to snap a six-start winless stretch in which he’d gone 0-4 since beating Boston last month. Cole reached double-digit wins for the eighth time in his career. Jonah Bride connected for his first career homer in the seventh against Cole.
