Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien almost brought his team back to a victory on Wednesday with one swing of his bat.
Semien hit a two-run home run in the ninth inning that cut the Yankees' lead down to 5-4, but that's as close as they would get. Semien finished the game 1 for 4 with two RBI.
Semien extended his hitting streak to six games with the home run, his eighth of the year. Over the hit streak he is hitting .286 with six hits, two home runs and four RBI.
