Overview
- On Tuesday in the Bronx, the Angels hit five solo homers, including three on consecutive pitches to open the game, and left-hander Reid Detmers held the Yankees to one run over seven innings with nine strikeouts.
- Yankees starter Ryan Weathers struck out 10 but gave up four homers in five innings in a rare line not seen since 1893 for such a short start, and New York has yet to score while he is on the mound this season.
- In Los Angeles, the Dodgers beat the Mets 2-1 after a pitchers’ duel where rookie Nolan McLean allowed one run over seven innings and World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto retired 20 straight after Francisco Lindor’s leadoff homer.
- Kyle Tucker delivered the decisive RBI single with two strikes in the eighth and Alex Vesia struck out the side in the ninth, sending the Mets to a seventh straight loss and a 7-11 record after being outscored 36-10 during the slide.
- The Yankees have dropped six of seven with five of their last six games at four runs or fewer, a pattern that underscores how early-season stretches can swing fast when strong starting pitching meets slumping lineups.
