Welch gave up just two hits in 9 innings. Both hits were solo home runs, one by Derek Jeter and one by Bernie Williams. The only other Yankees baserunner was Chuck Knoblauch, who leaned in and was hit by a pitch in the 9th. Andy Pettitte escaped a rough 1st inning, allowing just 1 run on 3 hits. But Mark McGwire connected with a 2-run home run in the 6th inning to put the Athletics in the lead. Pettitte allowed 4 runs in 6 2\/3 innings. The 4-2 win gives Oakland a great start to the series. The teams will face off at Yankee Stadium again tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/STB90s\/Scoresheets\/09-15-2024_OAK_NYY.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"'90 Athletics @ '98 Yankees - 9\/15\/24\">&#8217;90 Athletics @ &#8217;98 Yankees &#8211; 9\/15\/24<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1990 Oakland Athletics starter Bob Welch was amazing today against the 1998 New York Yankees.
