Beltran's 3-run HR in 8th lifts Yankees over Angels, 5-2
NEW YORK (AP) Carlos Beltran hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning, Aroldis Chapman quickly returned to form and the New York Yankees rallied past the Los Angeles Angels 5-2 Monday night.
The Yankees returned from a 4-6 road trip by beating the Angels for the sixth straight time at home.
Beltran was the first batter Jose Alvarez faced after relieving starter Matt Shoemaker. Two-out singles by Jacoby Ellsbury and Brett Gardner prompted the Angels to go to their bullpen, and Beltran struck for his 14th homer.
Andrew Miller (3-0) struck out Kole Calhoun, Mike Trout and Albert Pujols in order in the eighth. Chapman, who blew a save chance for the first time this season Sunday in Baltimore, pitched a perfect ninth for his 10th save.
