A-Rod Passes Bonds On RBI List, Yanks Edge Angels 8-7

NEW YORK (AP) Alex Rodriguez moved past Barry Bonds for second place on the career RBIs list and got four hits Friday night as the New York Yankees built a huge lead, then scrambled to hold off the Los Angeles Angels 8-7 for their fourth straight victory.

Down 8-1 in the ninth inning, the Angels rallied for six runs with the help of a routine popup that dropped between two infielders for a single. Their first eight batters reached base against Esmil Rogers and Dellin Betances.

The Angels still had the bases loaded with no outs, trailing 8-6.
