The Yankees ended a four-game slide tonight in the Bronx with an 11-5 win over the Los Angeles Angels. The Bombers overcame a jaw-dropping performance from Shohei Ohtani, and some less-than-stellar pitching from Jameson Taillon with their own power display, and yes – sound baserunning and defense.
It didn’t take long for the Yankees to get on the board in the top of the first inning. Catcher Gary Sánchez gave a souvenir to a fan in the right-field seats when he sent a 0-1 changeup away, into the stands and gave the Yankees a 1-0 lead with along with it.
