Spoelstra: No need to penalize Ball any further
Erik Spoelstra supports no further penalties for LaMelo Ball after flagrant foul.
The Yankees lost 7-1 to the Angels, giving up five solo home runs, including four by pitcher Ryan Weathers. Weathers struggled early but managed to recover slightly before being pulled in the sixth inning.
The Yankees gave up five solo home runs and couldn't generate any offense of their own on Tuesday night, falling to the Los Angeles Angels, 7-1.
-- Coming off of an impressive eight scoreless innings in his last outing, Ryan Weathers had a tough first inning on Tuesday night. The left-hander gave up back-to-back-to-back home runs to Mike Trout, Jo Adell, and Jorge Soler as the Angels took a 3-0 lead.
Weathers bounced back in the second inning, including winning a 12-pitch battle against Trout with a strikeout to end the frame. He kept it going with a 1-2-3 third inning, adding two more strikeouts to his total.
-- Weathers' struggles continued in the fourth, giving up a solo home run to former Yankees top prospect Oswald Peraza, making it a 4-0 game. He settled down in the fifth with another 1-2-3 inning, including a second strikeout against Trout in an eight-pitch AB. Weathers came out for the sixth inning, but walked Soler and was pulled from the game.
His final line: five runs on five hits with 10 strikeouts and two walks over 5.0 IP (94 pitches, 61 strikes).
-- The Yankees bats simply could not figure out Angels starter Reid Detmers on Tuesday night, managing just two hits against the lefty through seven innings. Detmers finished after seven-plus innings with nine strikeouts and zero walks, allowing just one run on four hits.
-- Paul Blackburn came in for relief and let up a two-run single to Yoán Moncada, giving LA a 6-0 lead. Yerry De los Santos got through the seventh inning unscathed, but allowed a leadoff solo home run to Moncada in the eighth as the Angles pushed their lead to 7-0.
-- Randal Grichuk recorded his first hit with the Yanks in the eighth inning, hitting a leadoff double against Detmers. Grichuk was 0-for-15 at the plate prior to the double. He ended up scoring on Ben Rice's sac-fly that cut the deficit to 7-1.
Aaron Judge got his first hit of the game in the ninth with a leadoff double, but was left stranded to end the game. He finished 1-for-4 at the plate with two strikeouts and is now hitting .234 on the year.
Detmers was dominant on Tuesday night, shutting down the Yanks offense after they scored 11 runs in Monday's win.
