Ryan Weathers gives up four solo home runs, Yankees offense struggles in 7-1 loss to Angels
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. Here are the takeaways... -- 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.
