In a season full of bumps for the New York Yankees, there has been one sure thing. Tanaka tamed the highest-scoring team in the majors and the Yankees stopped a four-game skid, beating Oakland 2-1 Thursday and ending the Athletics' five-game winning streak. Facing the A's for the first time, Tanaka (9-1) got an early jolt when John Jaso homered as the second batter in the game. And given the Yankees' recent rut, he added: ''I think you could say it's his biggest performance for us.'' David Robertson worked the ninth for his 13th save in 15 chances, helped by a lucky bounce.
