ANAHEIM, Calif.—Taylor Ward’s two-run double into the left-center field gap scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, Kevin Pillar had a two-run homer among his three hits, and the Los Angeles Angels rallied for a 4–3 victory over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night, May 28, to snap a three-game losing streak.

Ward attacked Clay Holmes’ first pitch and drove it over the head of Yankees’ left fielder Alex Verdugo. It rolled to the wall, allowing Mickey Moniak and Luis Rengifo to score.
