Win: C.J. Wilson, Loss: Hiroki Kuroda, Save: Ryan Madson

Home Runs:
Angels: None
Yankees: None

All the Angels needed was one run to take a 2 games to none lead over the New York Yankees. The run came in the top of the 7th when Howie Kendrick hit a sacrifice fly to right field, allowing Albert Pujols to tag up and score.

The Yankees did have a couple of chances to tie the game, but they couldn't close the deal. One instance came in the bottom of the 5th, when a Kevin Youklis hit down the first base line and over the fence had to be reviewed by the umpires. It was eventually called a foul ball and Youk would go on to strike out swinging. A second instance came in the bottom of the 6th. Derek Jeter was called out at the plate after attempting to come home from second off of a Alex Rodriguez single.

In the end, though, it was a pitcher's duel. For the Angels, C.J. Wilson worked 6 1/3 innings, allowing five hits and striking out five. For the Yankees, Kuroda worked 7 innings and gave up five hits, while striking out three. Ryan Madson came in for the save and pitched one inning, striking out all three batters he faced.

Game 3 is on Tuesday Night in Anaheim.
