Angels vs Yankees Recap: Big Night Beats NYY 7-1

The Los Angeles Angels visited the New York Yankees on Tuesday, April 14, in a clear night game. The Angels scored seven runs and the Yankees scored one, so Los Angeles won 7–1. The Angels came in hoping their pitching would settle down, while the Yankees relied on a strong staff option to start. Reid Detmers started for the Angels and Ryan Weathers started for the Yankees, and the game took place at the Yankees' home field in New York. Early homers and steady hitting set the tone, and the Angels built a lead quickly in the first inning.

During the top of the first, the Angels exploded with three home runs in quick order. Mike Trout led off with a center homer that flew 432 feet and looked powerful off a 95 mph fastball. Jo Adell followed by sending another long ball 445 feet, and Jorge Soler added a 399-foot shot to make it 3–0. The pitching battle settled after that, although the Angels added one more run in the fourth when Oswaldo Peraza homered to left. In the sixth, Yoán Moncada hit a two-run single that pushed the score to 6–0 and kept the Yankees under pressure.

The turning point came in the first inning when three big homers gave the Angels an early lead they never lost. That quick burst forced the Yankees to play from behind the whole game, and the Angels kept adding runs later. In the sixth inning, Moncada's two-run single made it 6–0, and then he hit a solo homer in the eighth to reach seven runs. New York scored once on a sacrifice fly by Bryan Rice in the eighth, but it was too late. The Angels improved to 8–9 after the win, while the Yankees moved to 9–7.
