KYLE Hendricks struck out nine and pitched six solid innings as the Los Angeles Angels earned their fourth straight win at Yankee Stadium with a 4-0 victory over the slumping New York Yankees on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila).
The Yankees lost their season-high fifth straight game, were shut out for a third straight game and have not scored in 29 innings. New York hadn’t been blanked three times in a row since 2016.
Taylor Ward hit a two-run single while Zach Neto and Luis Rengifo each had two hits for the Angels, who posted shutouts in consecutive games against the Yankees for the first time since May 12-13, 1999. Hendricks (5-6) permitted four hits and a walk while striking out nine.
New York slugger Aaron Judge struck out three times and his average dropped to .372—the fourth time in five games that he had fanned three times. Yankees rookie Will Warren (4-4) allowed three runs in six innings but struck out a career-high 11.
In other games, it was the Braves 5, Mets 4 (10 innings); Guardians 3, Giants 2; Reds 6, Twins 5; Royals 6, Rangers 1; Marlins 8, Phillies 3; Blue Jays 5, Diamondbacks 4; Tigers 7, Pirates 3; Rockies 10, Nationals 6; Orioles 5, Rays 1; Cardinals 12, White Sox 2; Cubs 5, Brewers 3; Mariners 8, Red Sox 0; Astros 13, Athletics 3; and Dodgers 8, Padres 6.
Braves 5, Mets 4 (10 innings)
Austin Riley’s long sacrifice fly to center field scored automatic runner Luke Williams with the winning run in the 10th inning to give Atlanta a come-from-behind win over visiting New York.
New York led 4-1 after five innings, but the Braves tied the game in the eighth on MarcellOzuna’s three-run double against reliever Reed Garrett. Atlanta’s Spencer Schwellenbach pitched seven innings and allowed four runs on six hits — two of them home runs—with two walks and eight strikeouts.
Tyrone Taylor hit a home run and two-run double for New York. Juan Soto hit a 412-foot solo homer in the first inning, his 14th homer of the season. David Peterson worked seven strong innings but was lifted after allowing the first two batters to reach in the eighth. He was charged with three runs on five hits, three walks and three strikeouts.
Guardians 3, Giants 2
Gabriel Arias’ sixth-inning home run spoiled Rafael Devers’ San Francisco debut and delivered a win to visiting Cleveland.
Arias’ double and homer were two of the Guardians’ six hits. Slade Cecconi (2-3) went five innings, during which he allowed two runs and four hits. He walked three and struck out six.
Arias’ homer came off Giants starter Robbie Ray (8-2) after the Guardians had rallied into a 2-2 tie two innings earlier on an RBI single by Carlos Santana. Ray was pulled after the sixth, charged with all three Cleveland runs on five hits. He walked two and struck out five. Acquired over the weekend from the Boston Red Sox, Devers went 2-for-5. Mike Yastrzemski collected a double and two singles for the Giants, who have lost three straight.
