Big fifth inning lifts Angels past the Yankees
LA TimesJo Adell hit a bases-clearing double with two outs in a six-run fifth inning, Tyler Anderson retired Aaron Judge three times in six strong innings pitched and the Angels withstood rainy conditions for a 9-4 victory over the New York Yankees on Thursday night. “He doesn’t throw with velocity but he reads bats well and he was able to get into an area where Judge couldn’t get to it,” Angels manager Ron Washington said. “You don’t want to make a lot of mistakes to him, so just try to make good pitches, execute pitches and it worked out tonight.” Nolan Schanuel hit a leadoff homer and had an RBI single off Nestor Cortes before the Angels put together a six-run inning for the second straight game. Mickey Moniak capped the inning with an RBI single as the Angels outscored the Yankees 17-6 and totaled 27 hits in the last two games of the series.
