Overview

  • Peraza, in his return Tuesday to Yankee Stadium, reached base in all four plate appearances and powered the Angels to a 7-1 win.
  • Aaron Boone said of the former Yankees prospect, "He killed us," adding that Peraza was "right in the middle of hurting us tonight."
  • The infielder lined a 110.1 mph single off Ryan Weathers, crushed a 396-foot solo homer in the fourth, added a 105 mph single off Paul Blackburn, then drew a 12-pitch walk.
  • New York traded Peraza at last year’s deadline to the Angels for international bonus pool money and outfield prospect Wilberson De Pena.
  • Fan frustration flared after the loss, with coverage also noting the Yankees have won three of their last ten games, and the team has not announced any changes.
