Angels Crush Yankees in Bronx Finale to Split Series as New York Preps Cole’s Rehab

The Angels’ power binge highlights why the Yankees need Gerrit Cole back.

Overview

  • The Angels took the finale 11-4 to earn a four-game split in the Bronx, and their 13 home runs across the set were the most the Yankees have ever allowed in a home series.
  • Mike Trout hit four homers in the series and went deep in three straight games at Yankee Stadium, while Aaron Judge connected three times for New York.
  • A night earlier, José Caballero won it 5-4 with a two-run walk-off double after an Angels infield pop-up dropped, showcasing New York’s late-inning swings.
  • Manager Aaron Boone said Gerrit Cole will start a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset, a key step after his 2025 Tommy John surgery and a boost for a taxed rotation.
  • The Mets’ skid reached eight after a Dodgers sweep that featured Shohei Ohtani striking out 10 over six innings as a pitcher only, with Juan Soto aiming to return during the next homestand.
