On a rainy evening in the Bronx, the Angels were able to take Game 1 behind a good pitching performance from Jered Weaver. Weaver pitched five strong innings before giving up three hits then a grand slam in the 6th. C.C. Sabathia struggled in this outing, giving up five hits in five innings, including two solo homers; out to Josh Hamilton and another to Peter Bourjos.

The Angels started the game by scoring five unanswered runs in the first six innings. The Yankees finally answered back in the bottom of the 6th by getting the bases loaded. This set the table for an Alex Rodriguez grand slam that brought the Yankees within one. LAA was able to essentially put the game away in the top of the 9th when Alberto Callaspo knocked a two-run homer to left field.

For Los Angeles, Callaspo finished 2-4 with a home run, a double, 4 RBIs, a walk and two fielding errors. For New York, Alex Rodriguez went 1-4; his lone hit being the grand slam.

Game 2 is on Sunday in the Bronx, with CJ Wilson and Hiroki Kuroda scheduled to take the mound for their respective squads.
