Angels Triumph Over Yankees in Rainy Showdown

NEW YORK (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels secured a 9-4 victory against the New York Yankees on Thursday night, highlighted by Jo Adell's bases-clearing double during a six-run fifth inning. Tyler Anderson delivered a strong performance on the mound, retiring Aaron Judge three times and allowing just one run and three hits over six innings, marking his first win since July 6. The game began with Nolan Schanuel hitting a leadoff homer and contributing an RBI single off Yankees pitcher Nestor Cortes. The Angels showcased their offensive prowess by scoring six runs in the fifth inning for the second consecutive game. Zach Neto, who had an impressive six-RBI game the previous night, added a late run-scoring single to the mix. Jazz Chisholm Jr. also made an impact, hitting his first homer in the Bronx after joining the team from the Marlins. The Angels' fifth inning was particularly notable, as they sent 10 batters to the plate, faced 55 pitches, and achieved three two-strike hits. Adell's double, which deflected off right fielder Soto's glove, was a key moment in the inning. Meanwhile, Angels outfielder Moniak made a spectacular leaping catch to rob Soto of a potential homer in the sixth. In injury news, Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe was removed from the game due to left foot pain after fouling a ball off his foot. He is currently being evaluated by the team's physician. The Angels will face the Washington Nationals in a three-game series starting Friday.
