Angels' home run parade leads to rout of Yankees
Baseball Betting Lines
07/20/2010 -
Bronx, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mike Napoli, Maicer Izturis and former Yankee
Hideki Matsui each hit a two-run homer to lead the Angels to a 10-2 win over
New York at Yankee Stadium.
Napoli finished with four RBI for the Angels, who captured the opener of this
brief two-game set and have won four of their last five games overall.
Sean O'Sullivan was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake late Monday and pitched
six strong innings. O'Sullivan (1-0) replaced Scott Kazmir, who was placed on
the 15-day disabled list due to a strained left shoulder, and allowed two runs
on two hits with four strikeouts to earn the win.
Phil Hughes (11-3) suffered the loss after he yielded six runs on nine hits in
five-plus innings for the Yankees, who lost for only the fourth time in the
month of July (11-4).
Nick Swisher hit his 17th home run of the season in the losing effort.
The Yankees grabbed an early lead with a pair of runs in the first inning.
After Swisher's one-out solo homer, Mark Teixeira drew a walk and moved to
third on a double by Alex Rodriguez. Robinson Cano then walked to load the
bases and a groundout to the right side of the infield by Jorge Posada allowed
Teixeira to cross the plate.
An RBI single by Izturis in the top of the second cut the Angels' deficit in
half, and another RBI base hit -- this one off the bat off Torii Hunter -- in
the third knotted the score.
In the top of the fourth, Juan Rivera laced a one-out single before Izturis
stepped to the plate and belted his third home run of the season over the wall
in right field.
In the sixth, Napoli turned on a Hughes fastball and blasted it over the
right-field wall. The two-run shot also scored Matsui, who led off the frame
with a walk.
New York manager Joe Girardi was ejected in the bottom of the sixth because he
argued with umpires after Teixeira was called out on a close play at first
base.
The Angels gained a bit of insurance in the seventh. Hunter drew a two-out
walk and Chan Ho Park entered from the New York bullpen. Matsui greeted him
with a home run to right field for an 8-2 advantage.
Los Angeles reliever Scot Shields worked around a first-and-third situation by
inducing an inning-ending groundout off the bat of Brett Gardner in the
seventh and Francisco Rodriguez did the same in the eighth. With runners on
the corners and two outs, Rodriguez got Cano to fly out to left field.
A two-run single by Napoli in the top of the ninth capped the scoring.
