| 27th May, 2007 - 5:17 pm | Yahoo.com - John Lackey earned his major league-leading eighth victory and the Angels barely had to swing the bat during a seventh-inning rally Sunday that gave them a 4-3 victory over the Yankees and a three-game sweep.
Los Angeles took advantage after starter Mike Mussina got a quick hook, with pinch-hitter Erick Aybar and Chone Figgins drawing bases-loaded walks from Scott Proctor.
Angels closer Francisco Rodriguez held on in the ninth inning, giving up Melky Cabrera's sacrifice fly before retiring Derek Jeter on a flyball with a runner on third for the final out. The AL West leaders won for the ninth time in 11 games and posted their first sweep at Yankee Stadium since 2004.
The Yankees lost for the seventh time in 10 games and dropped a season-high six games below .500. [READ] |
