New York Yankees vs Los Angeles Angels
Post Game Recap
Final Score: Yankees 2 Angels 5
The New York Yankees West Coast trip
started out nicely in Seattle, but since then has been a disaster
after getting swept by the Oakland Athletics, the Yankees lost the
series opener to the Los Angeles Angels 5-2. The loss moves the
Yankees to (37-30), which is still three games back of the Boston Red
Sox for first place in the AL East, as the Baltimore Orioles have
been gaining ground in the division.
Starter Andy Pettitte, coming off a
great start in Seattle couldn’t carry that over to Los Angeles, as
he suffered his fourth loss of the season. The Angels wasted little
time getting a run off Pettitte, as Howie Kendrick doubled home Josh
Hamilton for the first run of the game in the first inning. In the
fourth inning Chris Iannetta would hit a sac-fly to score Mark Trumbo
to tie the game at that point at two. Iannetta would knock in another
run in the seventh inning to give the Angels a 3-2 lead with a RBI
single scoring Trumbo. The final run off Pettitte wasn’t entirely
his fault, as Reid Brignac and David Adams let a fly ball drop in
between them hit by Peter Bourjos, who later scored from a Trumbo
single. Overall Pettitte went seven innings allowing four runs on 11
hits, and one walk.
