New York Yankees vs Los Angeles Angels
Final Score: Yankees 1 Angels 4
The New York Yankees had the tough task
of traveling to the West Coast without getting an off-day, as on
Monday the Yankees offense and bullpen looked like they forgot to
make the trip to Los Angeles. The loss to the Angels moves the
Yankees to percentage points behind the Baltimore Orioles in the AL
East with a (16-15) record.
Getting his first start of the season,
David Phelps was very good for the Yankees, even though he didn’t
factor in the decision. Phelps went 5.1 innings allowing just one run
on three hits and one walk, while throwing 87 pitches. The only
problem Phelps had was in the fifth inning, as Ian Stewart was have
an RBI ground-out.
Angels Starter Jered Weaver was
fantastic against the Yankees, as he shutdown their offense and
deserving picked up his third win of the season. Weaver went eight
innings allowing just one run one six hits, one walk, and struck out
seven batters.
On offense for the Yankees it was
mostly a quiet night, but Mark Teixeira was able to knock in the
Yankees only run in the seventh inning with a RBI single that scored
Derek Jeter who had a multi-hit game that included his fourth double
of the season.
In the eighth inning disaster hit for
the Yankees bullpen, as they walked the park leading to the loss.
Shawn Kelley picked up his second loss of the season, as he walked
four batters before Matt Thornton, who walked another batter came in,
and then Preston Claiborne walked one more before getting the final
out of the inning. In total their were six walks in the inning, five
of which came with two outs in the inning.
The awful display in the inning led to
Kelley and Joe Girardi both being ejected for arguing balls and
strikes, and like usually the Angels had the Yankees number.
Next up the Yankees will try to bounce
back from their tough loss, as Hiroki Kuroda (2-3, 5.14) will be
facing C.J. Wilson (4-2, 3.18) on Tuesday night.
