The Los Angeles Angels triumphed over the New York Yankees twice, showcasing strong performances without Jorge Soler, who has struggled lately at the plate. Despite his disappointing .119 batting average this June, Soler's experience remains invaluable as he approaches his 200th career home run. However, he is dealing with a back stiffness, prompting the Angels to start Luis Rengifo in his place, while Mike Trout took on DH duties.

The Angels are experiencing a competitive stretch, winning five of their last ten games, and are positioned just behind the Texas Rangers in the AL West race. With upcoming matchups against the Yankees and several other formidable teams, including the Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles aims to solidify its playoff aspirations.
