The Yankees wrapped their weekend series against the Padres with a 5-2 loss, but still took a 2-1 series win overall. Despite the loss, Anthony Volpe extended his stellar hitting streak to 19-straight games, and later got home off Juan Soto’s RBI double. Alex Verdugo had the other Yankee run of the game, a solo homer in the ninth that proved too little too late.
The struggling Angels are just 20-33 — the second worst record in the American League — and desperate to end a three-game losing streak. They were swept by the Cleveland Guardians in Los Angeles over the weekend, and are 1-4 for their last five games.
