Season series: Yankees lead 3-1
The Yankees dropped the opener of the series Monday, 4-3, and they have now lost 3 in a row. As hard to believe as it is, the Yankees are just 12-18 over the last 30 games. Fortunately for them, they were so good early on and retain a 7-game lead in the AL East.
The Angels got out to a 4-2 lead after DH Shohei Ohtani‘s 2-run homer in the 5th inning and held on. It was their 4th win in a row, and they are 10-10 over the last 20 games. A lot of that has to do with OF Mike Trout returning and lengthening the lineup. Trout is 12-for-39 (.308) with 4 homers and 7 RBIs across 10 games in August.
