Los Angeles Angels vs New York Yankees Match Player Stats On Aug 08, 2024

Jo Adell hit a two-out, bases-clearing double to highlight a six-run fifth inning as the visiting Los Angeles Angels recorded a 9-4 victory over the New York Yankees on Thursday night.

The Angels won for the fourth time in six games and took a second straight series from a New York team after winning a pair of one-run games at home against the Mets. Los Angeles outscored the Yankees 17-5 in the final two games after the hosts recorded a 5-2 victory in the opener of Wednesday's doubleheader.

Los Angeles starter Tyler Anderson (9-10) allowed one run on three hits in six solid innings to earn his first win since July 6. Anderson struck out seven and walked one in a 95-pitch outing.

Adell's hit capped a second straight six-run inning for the Angels, who had a six-run second in the nightcap of Wednesday's doubleheader.

Nolan Schanuel hit his third career leadoff homer and added a tiebreaking single off New York's Nestor Cortes (5-10) before the Angels pulled away in the fifth.

Kevin Pillar had a two-run, two-strike double that chased Cortes and, two batters later, Adell sliced a double off reliever Enyel de los Santos. Adell gave the Angels a 7-1 lead when his sinking liner on a 2-2 fastball from de Los Santos got past Juan Soto, who tried to make a diving catch in right field.

Mickey Moniak capped the inning with a run-scoring single and made a leaping catch to rob Soto of a possible home run in center field to open the sixth.

Zach Neto completed the Angels' scoring with an RBI single in the eighth as the visitors finished with 14 hits, one shy of their season high. Los Angeles totaled 27 hits in the final two games of the three-game series.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered for the Yankees, who are 8-3 in their past 11 after dropping 23 of 33 from June 15 to July 26. Soto and Giancarlo Stanton hit RBI singles in the eighth.

The Yankees also lost Anthony Volpe due to left foot pain. The shortstop fouled a pitch off his foot in the second and was lifted after the seventh.

Oswaldo Cabrera homered in the ninth after replacing Volpe.

Cortes was charged with a season-high-tying six runs on nine hits in 4 2/3 innings.
