Yankees stop skid with blowout over Angels

Yankees Stop Skid With Blowout Over Angels. Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge and Miguel Andujar homered as the New York Yankees enjoyed a rare productive showing at the plate and survived allowing two homers to Shohei Ohtani in an 11-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium.

The Yankees halted a four-game skid after GM Brian Cashman said they were “as bad as you can be” and that he was not blaming manager Aaron Boone.

After Cashman’s comments, New York set a season high for runs, marking the second time this season it scored at least 10 runs. The Yankees also hit at least three homers for the 13th time, finished with 11 hits and drew nine walks.

Judge hit a two-run homer onto the netting in Monument Park in center field in the second and Andujar began a five-run fourth with a homer to right.
