 ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - The Yankees came into Angel Stadium for a weekend series, hoping to do some severe damage to Los Angeles' playoff hopes. So far, the Angels are continuing to play well against New York.
Rookie Howie Kendrick went 4-for-4 with a tiebreaking homer, Garret Anderson homered and drove in four runs and the Los Angeles Angels beat slumping Alex Rodriguez and the Yankees 12-7 in a testy matchup Saturday.
The Angels, trying to stay close in a bid for their third straight AL West title, improved to 55-51 against New York since Joe Torre became its manager in 1996. They are the only team to hold an edge over the Yankees in that span, and also have beaten them in two playoff series.
