June 6 at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, NY
Fox
Angels' starter Garrett Richards hadn't given up any runs in the first inning of any of his first nine starts coming into Saturday evening.
The 2015 Yankees had been a strong offensive club in the first inning coming into the night (51 runs in 55 games), though, and it continued against Richards. Brian McCann clubbed a two-run shot and in Brett Gardner's second at bat of the first he took a fast ball right over the middle of the plate and ripped a two-run single and the hosts led 6-0, chasing Richards from the game before he got out No. 3.
Adam Warren did the rest, limiting the Los Angeles/Anaheim Angels Baseball Club of a Part of California to just four hits and two earned runs in 6 2/3 innings as the Yankees won their fifth straight, 8-2.
Warren, back in the rotation after a very good season out of the bullpen in 2014, has allowed three runs or less in eight of his 11 starts. Behind Michael Pineda and what the Yankees hope is a healthy Masahiro Tanaka, Warren has so far become the team's No. 3 starter.
