The Los Angeles Angels faced a challenging series against the New York Yankees, concluding with a 1-0 defeat that overshadowed their earlier nine-inning rally. Despite a home run from Yoán Moncada and a key single by Taylor Ward, the Angels struggled offensively, managing only three runs across six games against the Yankees. Catcher Logan O'Hoppe expressed frustration over the team's persistent issues at the plate, including a high strikeout rate that had them among the worst in the league. Manager Ron Washington's decision to intentionally walk Aaron Judge, who boasts a .391 batting average, resulted in the only run of the game, further highlighting the Angels' offensive struggles.
