Star Yankees rookie Aaron Judge has an A’s past

NEW YORK — The A’s got their first look at Aaron Judge in a Yankees uniform Friday night, but they’ve seen the exciting rookie outfielder plenty before:

Judge, 25, is tied for the major-league lead with 15 homers.

How might that look in a lineup with Khris Davis (14 homers) and Yonder Alonso (13)?

“I was pretty determined to go to college,” said Judge, who attended Fresno State.

Both my parents are educators and my brother is a teacher, so I was leaning toward that. ...

Judge has good memories of Jermaine Clark, the Oakland scout who attended his games and recommend Judge to the A’s front office.

“He was always supportive, a guy who was easy to talk to,” Judge said.

The A’s brought Judge in to work out before the draft, another positive experience.

First time on an MLB field, I was soaking it in, like, ‘Wow, the grass is perfect, the infield is perfect, the stadium is pretty big.’

The 6-foot-7, 282-pound outfielder had a favorite player: 170-pound shortstop Rich Aurilia.

Adam Rosales had an eventful trip around the bases in the eighth inning.

Clippard’s errant pickoff throw — needlessly sliding headfirst into third and slamming his face on the ground in the process — then dashed toward home on Rajai Davis’ tapper to third and was thrown out after another unsightly slide.

“It’s probably going to bruise up,” he said en route to icing his face.

[...] baseman Jed Lowrie has a seven-game hitting streak during which he is 16-for-29.

First baseman Ryon Healy’s 11-game hitting streak ended.

Susan Slusser is a San Francisco Chronicle staff writer.

With a double and a single in his first two at-bats, Jed Lowrie extended his consecutive-hits streak to seven, one shy of the Oakland record shared by Josh Reddick, Dave Magadan and Brent Gates.
