Grisham and Goldschmidt hit consecutive HRs as Yankees snap 6-game skid with 7-3 win over Angels
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — Trent Grisham and Paul Goldschmidt hit consecutive homers in the second inning, and the New York Yankees beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-3 on Thursday to halt their six-game skid.
Carlos Rodon (9-5) allowed a season-high three homers but held the Angels to four hits in six innings to bounce back from two rocky outings against the Red Sox. The left-hander struck out seven and walked one on an 89-degree afternoon.
The AL East-leading Yankees stopped their longest losing streak since a nine-game slide in August 2023. New York also avoided its second four-game sweep at the current Yankee Stadium and first since September 2021 against Toronto.
Mike Trout, Jo Adell and Taylor Ward homered off Rodón, but the Angels were unable to finish off their first four-game sweep of the Yankees.
Cody Bellinger had three of New York's 12 hits, including an RBI single that provided a 5-3 lead in the seventh.
Aaron Judge doubled before a 35-minute rain delay in the eighth and scored on a groundout by Anthony Volpe after play resumed. Austin Wells also hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth.
Los Angeles starter Tyler Anderson (2-5) allowed four runs and eight hits in six innings. The left-hander stayed in after being hit on his lower right leg by Wells' comebacker in the sixth and took his fifth straight loss. Key moment
After the Angels went ahead 2-1 on Adell's solo homer in the second, Grisham followed a single by DJ LeMahieu with his 14th homer. Goldschmidt then pulled a line drive down the left-field line for a 4-2 lead. Key stats
It was the 10th time this season Grisham has homered to tie a game or give the Yankees a lead. Up next
Angels LHP Yusei Kikuchi (2-6, 3.05 ERA) starts Friday at home against Houston.
Yankees LHP Max Fried (9-2, 1.89) faces Baltimore in the opener of a three-game series.

Chisholm rallies Yankees to 4-2 win as New York takes 2 of 3 from Orioles
NEW YORK -- Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit a go-ahead, two-run double off the right-center field wall in a three-run eighth inning, leading the New York Yankees over the Baltimore Orioles 4-2 Sunday. New York won its second straight after losing seven of its previous eight games. A day after the Orioles were held hitless for seven innings by Clarke Schmidt, Jackson Holliday singled on Will Warren's first pitch, setting up a two-run first that included Ryan O'Hearn's run-scoring single and Colton Cowser's RBI double. Orioles backup catcher Maverick Handley left after being knocked over in the second during a collision at the plate with Chisholm, who scored on DJ LeMahieu's single against Dean Kremer. Ben Rice singled off Bryan Baker (3-2) leading off the eighth and Giancarlo Stanton's single put runners at the corners. Chisholm doubled and is hitting .350 (21 for 60) with 11 RBIs since returning from the injured list, raising his average to .242. New York boosted the lead when Gary Sánchez dropped shortstop Gunnar Henderson's throw on LeMahieu's grounder, allowing Chisholm to slide across the plate. Fernando Cruz (2-3) struck out the side in the eighth and has 50 strikeouts in 30 1/3 innings. Devin Williams pitched around a two-out single in the ninth for his 10th save in 11 chances. In a game that started at 11:39 a.m. to fulfill a Major League Baseball national television contract, Warren gave up two runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings. New York had been 1-22 when trailing after seven innings. Baker fell behind Chisholm in the count 3-0, then left a fastball over the plate. Orioles: LHP Trevor Rogers (0-0, 3.12) starts Monday night's homestand opener against Texas and LHP Patrick Corbin (4-6, 3.91). Yankees: Rookie RHP Allan Winans makes his New York and season debut on Monday night at Cincinnati, which starts LHP Nick Lodolo (5-5, 3.71).
