Angels Beat Yankees 1-0 in 11-Inning Pitchers’ Duel

The New York Yankees suffered their fourth consecutive loss, falling 1-0 in 11 innings to the Los Angeles Angels at Yankee Stadium. José Soriano pitched seven scoreless innings for the Angels, delivering a dominant performance that helped snap their three-game losing streak. Giancarlo Stanton returned from injury and impressed at the plate with a 2-for-4 performance, including a key ninth-inning double, though the Yankees were unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities late in the game. The Angels scored the game-winning run in the 11th inning on a Nolan Schanuel double, with the Yankees unable to respond despite loading the bases in the bottom half of the inning. Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt also delivered a strong outing, pitching 7.2 scoreless innings and striking out 16 of 23 batters faced before the Angels broke through. The loss extends the Yankees' scoring drought to 20 consecutive scoreless innings, highlighting ongoing offensive struggles despite the return of Stanton off the injured list after missing the first 70 games due to severe tendinitis in both elbows.
