Los Angeles: Erick Aybar homered and drove in two runs and Albert Pujols had a pair of run-scoring singles to help power the Los Angeles Angels to a 6-2 win over the New York Yankees and extend their winning streak to three games yesterday.
Howie Kendrick contributed three hits and an RBI to the Angels effort while Brett Gardner had an RBI triple for the Yankees, who had only five hits.
While the Angels bats were booming it was another power outage at the plate for the Yankees, who have scored only 12 runs during a five-game losing skid.
Angels starter Tommy Hanson (4-2) picked up the win, striking out a season-high eight while yielding two runs on five hits over 6 1/3 innings.
