The Yankees more blistered than bombed Severino, who watched hard-hit ground balls find holes and lined shots to the outfield find grass, which enabled the Yankees to frequently flex speed they did not used to have. And then as if to demonstrate the bats can still score the old way, too, Ben Rice added a grand slam to help turn the series finale into a laugher. The Yankees demolished the A’s 12-2 in front of another sellout crowd of 12,224 at Sutter Health Park on a happy Mother’s Day Sunday.

Severino was then pulled, and the Yankees showed off some of their old-school might against former Yankees prospect Mitch Spence. With the bases loaded and two outs, Rice demolished a no-doubt grand slam — the first of his career — down the right field line, a swing that made the final innings elementary. The Yankees offense finished with 15 hits, every starter except Vivas recording at least one knock. Judge sprayed hits everywhere on a 4-for-5 day that raised his average to .409.
