MCT photo Brandon Allen celebrates one of his two home runs with teammate David DeJesus,Tuesday. ''It wasn't what I wanted to hear NEW YORK (AP) — Andrew Bai- ley saw Coco Crisp take off for the ball with a route that made him very ner- vous. That is until he saw the ball settle into the center fielder's glove just in front of the wall. Bailey retired Nick Swisher on a nearly 385-foot out with the bases loaded after Oakland blew a late six- run lead, barely preserving the Athlet- ics' 6-5 victory over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night. ''The way I saw Coco running at it, he usually takes that run when he has to rob something so I wasn't too happy about it,'' Bailey said. ''But then I saw it fall short. Big sigh of relief.'' Derek Jeter had three hits, tying Rod Carew for 22nd place all-time with 3,053. But Brandon McCarthy sti- fled the rest of a New York lineup that was again missing Alex Rodriguez into the eighth inning. A-Rod returned from knee surgery for his first game since July 7 on Sun- day and sprained his thumb fielding a ball against the Twins. X-rays Tuesday were negative and he is day to day. today,'' Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. ''Hopefully it gets a lot better by tomorrow.'' Brandon Allen hit two tape-mea- sure homers, Eric Sogard connected for one that barely cleared the wall and McCarthy ran the A's stretch of superb pitching into the eighth before allowing a two-out, three-run homer to Swisher that lifted a quiet crowd. The three runs were one more than Oakland had given up in the previous three games combined. The Yankees rallied for two more in the ninth against Bailey. Bailey gave up a homer to Jorge Posada to open the inning and Russell Martin doubled. Brett Gardner reached on an error by third baseman Scott Sizemore, who entered as a pinch-hit- ter in the seventh, and Curtis Grander- son walked to load the bases after Jeter sacrificed the runners over. An out later, Robinson Cano walked on what appeared to be strike 3 to make it 6-5. ''I thought it was a strike but I can't let it get to that point,'' Bailey said. ''Adrenaline has the best of you in that situation and you got to keep your cool and go get the next guy.'' Swisher then hit a fly that gave A's manager Bob Melvin a scare. ''You've got to will it down,'' Melvin said. Bailey secured his ninth save in nine chances since the All-Star break and 17th overall, but he given up at least a run for the fourth time in six appear- ances. Sizemore doubled in two runs on the first pitch he saw from Boone Logan as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning and Josh Willingham had a sac- rifice fly in the sixth for Oakland. McCarthy (7-6) gave up eight hits and struck out six in 7 2-3 innings, improving to 6-1 in eight starts since the All-Star break. ''0-1, 0-2, every single at-bat,'' New York's Mark Teixeira said. ''His loca- tion is what put us off balance.'' Engineers gave Yankee Stadium a clean bill of health after an earthquake in Virginia shook much of the East Coast, and 47,343 fans saw the A's improve to 2-5 against New York this season. The A's came in having hit 81 home runs, tied for second-fewest in the American League, but they did most of their damage with the long ball Tues- See A's, page 2B NAPA (AP) — Jason Campbell is as eager as any- body to find out more about Terrelle Pryor and how the Oakland Raiders plan to use the former Ohio State quar- terback. come Tuesday. Those answers didn't The Raiders are hoping they'll come soon enough. While Campbell returned to the practice field for the first time since a jarring hit to the helmet, Pryor was nowhere to be found at Raiders camp. Pryor can't practice until he's under con- tract, and he had yet to even travel to the West Coast by the time the team ended practice in the evening. New coach Hue Jackson was optimistic that Oakland would reach a deal by the end of the week with Pryor, whom the team selected in the third round of the NFL's supplemental draft on Mon- day. Messages were left seeking comment from Drew Rosenhaus, Pryor's agent. ''You don't know what we're really going to do with him yet,'' said Campbell, who was cleared to practice for the first time since he took a knee to the helmet in Saturday's 17-3 exhibition loss to San Francisco. ''He's definitely a big, fast guy. There are different things you can do with him. He's a teammate now. We welcome him. We just go out here and do what we can to help the team win.'' Even Oakland's starting quarterback had no idea his team would draft Pryor. Campbell said he was sit- ting in a meeting room Mon- day when a few teammates poked inside to tell him the news. He hasn't had a chance to speak with Pryor yet, and Campbell said he's going to welcome the new quarterback when he arrives See PRYOR, page 2B 7:15 p.m. 4:05 p.m. 5 6 Camp Shots Sports 1B Cardinals Wednesday August 24, 2011 Daily News photos by Rich Greene The Corning Cardinals scrimmaged the Chico Panthers,Tuesday evening, in preparation for their 2011 season.The Cardinals' open up their season Sept. 2 when they host the Las Plumas Thunderbirds at 7:30 p.m. Allen hits 2 homers, A's beat Yankees Campbell returns; Pryor a no-show at at CSNC CSNB From U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
