The Yankees are on the verge of dropping the series to the Angels at the Bronx. The team has lost its last five fixtures, including 29 innings wherein the Bombers failed to score. Game 2 featured a masterclass from Halos starter Kyle Hendricks. The 35-year-old gave up just four base hits and one walk with nine strikeouts in six innings.
Ryan Yarbrough has been assigned to take the bump for Game 3, opposite the Halos' Jack Kochanowicz. Yarbrough has compiled a 3-1 record with a 3.96 ERA this year. Kochanowicz, meanwhile, has a 3-8 tally across 14 starts with a 5.53 ERA.
Angels vs. Yankees recent form and records
The Yanks are on one of the ugliest losing streaks of the season. They haven't recorded a run scored since the ninth inning of their Saturday game against the Red Sox as Aaron Boone's band of juggernauts suddenly struggled out of nowhere. Although they're still the top dogs in the AL East with a 42-30 record, the Rays are now hot on their heels with the latter being just 2.5 games behind.
Trending
The Angels, on the other hand, have capitalized on the misfortune that the Bombers are currently in. They hold a 35-37 record and are currently fourth in the AL West.
