The New York Yankees faced a tough loss against the Los Angeles Angels, falling 1-0 in a tightly contested game that extended into 11 innings. Clarke Schmidt pitched superbly for the Yankees, delivering 7.2 shutout innings, but the team could not capitalize on his efforts. The Angels' Jose Soriano matched him with seven scoreless innings of his own, showcasing a strong performance from both starting pitchers. The decisive moment came from Angels first baseman Noah Schanuel, whose RBI double in the 11th inning secured the win for his team.

This defeat marks the Yankees' fourth straight loss and their second consecutive game being shut out, raising concerns over their recent performance. Manager Aaron Boone provided a glimmer of hope with news regarding relief pitcher Luke Weaver, who has been recovering from a hamstring injury. Boone reported that Weaver looked 'great' during his simulated game, indicating a potential return to form. This season, Weaver has been impressive with a 1.05 ERA and has converted the majority of his save opportunities, making him a critical asset for the Yankees as they navigate this difficult stretch.
