Grisham and Goldschmidt hit consecutive HRs as Yankees snap 6-game skid with 7-3 win over Angels
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 Rodón (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.

Olson and Strider help Braves sweep Mets and extend their losing streak to 6 games
ATLANTA (AP) — Matt Olson hit a three-run double, Spencer Strider struck out eight in six innings and the Atlanta Braves beat the Mets 7-1 on Thursday night to complete a series sweep that extended New York's season-worst losing streak to six games. New York's latest sloppy defeat, paired with Philadelphia's 2-1 win over Miami, left the Mets and Phillies tied for first place in the NL East heading into their upcoming weekend series. Mets pitchers issued nine walks, including a career-high six in 4 2/3 innings by starter Clay Holmes (7-4), who allowed three runs. Huascar Brazobán walked three while giving up four runs in relief. Strider (2-5) yielded one run and five hits with one walk. Olson added another double and two walks, and scored three runs. The Braves have won three straight and seven of nine. They trail the Mets and Phillies by 10 games one week after they were 15 games out of first place. Key moment With the bases loaded and Holmes facing a 3-2 count to Drake Baldwin in the fifth, the right-hander had an issue with the PitchCom device in his cap. After a new device was delivered from the dugout, Holmes threw ball four to force in a run that gave Atlanta a 2-1 lead. Brazobán followed with another bases-loaded walk, to Ozzie Albies. Key stat Juan Soto's single with two outs in the first for the Mets was his 1,000th career hit at age 26. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Up next The Mets had not announced a scheduled starting pitcher for Friday night's opener of a three-game series at Philadelphia. Right-hander Justin Hagenman, who was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse, was expected to be the answer or serve as a bulk reliever behind an opener, but he was needed as the Mets' second reliever against Atlanta. The Braves are expected to call up 20-year-old rookie Didier Fuentes for his major league debut to start at Miami and provide extra rest for the regular members of the rotation. ___ AP MLB:
