The Oakland Athletics came out on the right side of a one-run game for a change. Ben Zobrist drew a bases-loaded walk from David Carpenter in the seventh inning to break a tie and the A's rallied from a three-run deficit to beat the New York Yankees 5-4 on Thursday night. ''For them to battle back and put up runs late in the game and for our bullpen to a great job tonight, that's a big confidence builder for us.'' Billy Burns and Brett Lawrie homered off CC Sabathia (2-7) to start the comeback from a 3-0 hole and the A's went on to beat the Yankees for the 10th time in their past 11 meetings in Oakland.
