NEW YORK (AP) --- Mike Trout homered for the third time in two games, combining
with Jo Adell and Jorge Soler for three consecutive long balls in a five-pitch
span against Ryan Weathers in the first inning, and the Los Angeles Angels beat
the New York Yankees 7-1 on Tuesday night.
Trout hit a 2-1 fastball to the loading dock adjacent to Monument Park in
center field and Adell hit another fastball on the next pitch into the visiting
bullpen in left-center field. Three pitches later, Soler drove a 2-0 fastball
into the left-field seats
Trout homered for the third straight at-bat after connecting in the sixth and
eighth innings in Monday's 11-10 loss.
Los Angeles hit three straight homers for the first time since June 24, 2023,
at Colorado, and sent the Yankees to their sixth loss in seven games.
Reid Detmers (1-1) allowed one run and four hits in seven-plus innings, walked
none and struck out nine --- all on breaking balls.
Former Yankee Oswald Peraza homered in the fourth and had three hits. Yoan
Moncada had a two-run single in the sixth and opened the eighth with a homer
off newly recalled Yerry De los Santos.
Weathers (0-2) allowed five runs, five hits and a career-high four homers in
five-plus innings while striking out 10. Before Tuesday, New York starters had
allowed three homers in their first 16 games.
New York's first four hitters were right-handed for the first time since Sept.
27, 2023.
Randal Grichuk doubled in the eighth off Detmers after going hitless in his
first 15 at-bats as a Yankee and scored on pinch-hitter Ben Rice's sacrifice
fly.
Anthony Volpe (left shoulder surgery) went 0 for 2 with a pair of strikeouts in
his first rehab game for Double-A Somerset and had one assist during five
innings at shortstop.
Major League Baseball changed the scoring decision for the game-ending play at
Tampa Bay on Saturday night, adding an error for Yankees second baseman Jazz
Chisholm Jr. for bobbling Jonathan Aranda's chopper.
