Los Angeles Angels vs New York Yankees
Post Game Recap
Final Score: Angels 1 Yankees 2
The New York Yankees were able to keep
up their momentum from winning a crucial series against the Detroit
Tigers, as on Monday night they were able to defeat the Los Angeles
Angels to start off their four-game series. The win moves the Yankees
to (60-57) on the season, and they are now 6.5 games behind the Rays
and Athletics for the two Wild Card spots.
Yankees Starter Hiroki Kuroda was once
again sensational in his start, as he picked up his 11th
win of the season, and saw his ERA go down to 2.33 on the season.
Kuroda went eight shutout innings allowing just three hits and one
walk, while striking out seven batters. Kuroda's name should be
starting to get some serious consideration for the American League Cy
Young award, as in the last five games hes gone 48 innings allowing
just five runs, and he now has the second best ERA in the American
League behind only Felix Hernandez.
