Game overview and final score
The Los Angeles Angels visited the New York Yankees on Monday, April 13. The Yankees were at home and they won a close game, 11β10. Both teams wanted a win to help their early season records. The Angels came in with questions about pitching, while the Yankees leaned on a strong staff on paper. The game started with big homers from the Yankees, and it turned into a back-and-forth slugfest. Fans saw long hits, quick pitching changes, and tense moments. By the ninth inning the lead changed several times, and the Yankees pulled ahead to finish the comeback.
Early scoring and key moments
The game opened with a huge two-run homer by Judge in the first inning. That blast sailed 456 feet and put New York up 2β0 right away. In the second inning Caballero added another two-run homer to make it 4β0, and the Yankees looked dominant early. The Angels woke up in the fourth inning when Soler doubled and Trout scored, then Adell and O'Hoppe drove in runs. A walk by Neto tied the game at 4β4, and the inning showed the Angels would fight back. Early power from both clubs set a fast, exciting pace for the rest of the night.
Late comeback, final plays, and meaning
The middle innings saw big swings. Grisham hit a three-run homer in the fifth to push New York ahead 7β4. Then Trout answered in the sixth with a three-run homer that tied it again at 7β7. Judge followed with a homer to make it 8β7, but the Angels kept battling. Lowe hit a sacrifice fly in the seventh to tie the game at 8β8, and Trout later hit a two-run homer in the eighth to put the Angels up 10β8. In the ninth Grisham tied it with a homer, and a walk plus a wild pitch gave New York an 11β10 lead to win.
