After losing five in a row, the Yankees now have a modest two-game winning streak thanks in part to a high-powered offense and good pitching. They were able to defeat the Angels tonight by a score of 14-3.
Jimmy Key started for the Yankees and went eight strong inning, allowing three runs on five hits. He was backed by his bats, which exploded for seven runs – all against Angels starter Jason Dickson – in the third, four in the fourth and three in the seventh. Leading the way was Derek Jeter, who went 2-for-4 and drove in four RBI to bring his season total to 60.
