The Los Angeles Angels overwhelmed the New York Yankees 10-1 at Angel Stadium, pairing Walbert Urena’s seven-inning, eight-strikeout performance with an offense that kept adding pressure. Los Angeles scored once in the third, then separated the game with three runs in the fourth and two more in the fifth. Vaughn Grissom delivered three hits, four RBI and two runs, while the Yankees managed only one run across nine innings.

Urena controlled the middle of the game and kept the Angels from needing an extended bullpen effort. He struck out eight across seven innings, using swing-and-miss stuff to prevent New York from building sustained traffic. Elmer Rodriguez struck out five in 3.2 innings for the Yankees, but Los Angeles eventually broke through after two scoreless innings and never surrendered its advantage. Luis Gil added three strikeouts in two innings, yet the Yankees’ pitching staff could not contain the Angels’ run production.

The result moved Los Angeles to 53-85 and gave the Angels a decisive win over a Yankees team that entered at 78-60. For Los Angeles, the formula was clear: Urena handled the bulk of the game, Grissom converted key opportunities and the lineup continued to extend the margin late with three runs in the eighth. New York leaves Angel Stadium needing sharper run prevention and a more reliable offensive response after scoring in only one inning.
