Overview

• During Saturday’s 7-0 loss to Oakland, Yankees reliever Ian Hamilton stared down rookie Jacob Wilson after a rough seventh inning.
• Hamilton said his outburst sprang from frustration over issuing a walk and handling a comebacker and insisted there are no lingering hard feelings.
• Wilson, batting .340 and ranking second in MLB, returned Hamilton’s glare before both shrugged off the moment as part of the game’s emotions.
• Hamilton lowered his season ERA to 3.77 and extended his scoreless streak to 7⅔ innings despite the team’s shutout.
• The defeat marked the Yankees’ seventh shutout this season and prompted manager Aaron Boone to lament the club’s mounting scoring drought.
