Well, that sucked. The Yankees’ five-game winning streak is no more thanks to a walk off home run by Mark Trumbo in the bottom of the ninth to help lead the Angels to 9-8 victory.
Clik here to view.
Maddie is not amused
The Angels lost starter Jered Weaver 12 pitches into the game which you’d think would be to the Yankees’ advantage. Especially since the Yanks ended up scoring three runs in the top of the first inning.
Nope!
Phil Hughes apparently couldn’t pitch in front of his friends and family and wound up surrendering four runs in his half of the first inning. But still, he somehow lasted over five innings and kept the Yankees within striking distance. You know, by not giving up 12 more runs…
And wouldn’t you know it? The Yankees came all the way back on a game tying RBI double by none other than Russell Martin in the seventh inning.
With the game tied 8-8, things were looking good until the bottom of the ninth when Trumbo ended the game.
As usual there were missed opportunities for the Yankees hitters but what can you do? You just dust yourself off and come back tomorrow, or later today in the case of Yankee fans on the East Coast. Thanks to the wacky scheduling this game ended at 12:45am EST. Can you try and schedule a day next year guys? Some people – not me – have to work in the morning.
