The Angels opened Tuesday night in the Bronx with three straight home runs from Mike Trout, Jo Adell and Jorge Soler, then beat the Yankees 7-1. (mlb.com) Trout started the burst with a solo shot off Yankees left-hander Ryan Weathers, and Adell and Soler followed with solo homers in a five-pitch span in the first inning at Yankee Stadium. (mlb.com) The Angels finished with five home runs and 12 hits, while Reid Detmers held New York to one run over seven innings in front of a crowd of 37,792 on April 14. (espn.com) It was the Angels’ first back-to-back-to-back homer sequence since June 24, 2023, and Trout’s blast was his third home run in two games against New York. (mlb.com) The outburst came one night after Trout and Aaron Judge each hit two home runs in an 11-10 Yankees win, turning the first two games of the series into a power-heavy showcase in the Bronx. (mlb.com) The Yankees had opened the homestand with one of the franchise’s best starts, but the Angels knocked them around early on Tuesday by jumping on Weathers before New York could settle in. (mlb.com) (nypost.com) Elsewhere Tuesday, the Dodgers beat the Mets 2-1 after Yoshinobu Yamamoto gave up a leadoff homer and then retired 20 straight batters, while Kyle Tucker drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning. (mlb.com) By the end of the night, the loudest clip came from the first inning in the Bronx: three Angels swings, three balls over the wall, and a game that tilted almost immediately. (mlb.com)
