Sunday, June 15, 2013, 6:05 PM PDT at Angel Stadium of Anaheim, Anaheim, California

Line Score
Yankees: 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0; 1 Run, 1 Hit, 0 Errors

Win: Jered Weaver Loss: C.C. Sabathia

Home Runs
Yankees: Mark Teixeira
Angels: Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, Chris Iannetta

After allowing the Yankees to get back into the series with two wins in Anaheim, the Angels were able to regain control with a complete game pitching performance by Jered Weaver. In 9 innings, Weaver gave up only one run on one hit; a Mark Teixeira home run in the 5th inning.

For the Yankees, C.C. Sabathia put up a decent performance, but it wasn't enough in comparison to Weaver's mastery. C.C. went six innings, giving up two runs on three hits. Two of those three hits were homers. Chris Iannetta was the first to strike, knocking a solo shot in the 3rd. Albert Pujols took his own personal trip around the bases the next inning. Joba Chamberlain came in the 7th in relief, but provided none when Mike Trout hit a two-run home run in the 8th inning. David Aardsma was immediately brought in to close out the half-inning.

The Angels now have a 3-2 lead in the series, with a chance to close things out in the Bronx on Tuesday. CJ Wilson will face off against Hiroki Kuroda. When these two took the mound in Game 2, both pitchers were able to shut down the offense as only one run was scored between both teams. However, that one run was scored by the Angels.
