The New York Yankees ended a five-game skid on Monday, April 13, by beating the Los Angeles Angels 11-10 on a game-ending wild pitch at Yankee Stadium. (cbssports.com) New York trailed 10-8 in the ninth before Trent Grisham tied it with a two-run homer off Jordan Romano. José Caballero then doubled, stole third, and scored when Romano bounced a full-count slider to the backstop. (cbssports.com) The game turned into a home run trade. Aaron Judge hit two for New York, giving him 47 multi-homer games as a Yankee, while Mike Trout hit two for Los Angeles and drove in five runs. (cbssports.com) That result left the Yankees at 9-7 heading into the second game of the series on Tuesday, April 14, with Ryan Weathers scheduled to face Reid Detmers. The Angels fell to 8-9. (mlb.com ) (mlb.com) In West Sacramento that same night, Jake Burger supplied most of the Texas Rangers’ offense by hitting two home runs in an 8-1 win over the Athletics. Burger drove in four runs, and Nathan Eovaldi threw seven scoreless innings. (westhawaiitoday.com) Burger took Luis Severino deep twice, and Texas broke the game open in the eighth when Josh Smith and Josh Jung added two runs batted in each. Joc Pederson finished with three of the Rangers’ 11 hits. (westhawaiitoday.com) The win was Texas’ second straight and its fifth in seven games. Burger’s two-homer night also pushed him to four home runs and 11 runs batted in through his first 16 games of 2026. (westhawaiitoday.com) (espn.com) So one American League game ended with a pitch that skipped to the wall, and another with Burger doing the damage himself. Both clubs go back at it Tuesday with the Yankees trying to build on a one-run escape and the Rangers trying to keep a series-opening rout rolling. (cbssports.com) (mlb.com)
