New York Yankees vs Los Angeles Angels - FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS | May 28, 2025 MLB Season

It is time for baseball. It's the New York Yankees against the L.A. Angels in the final game of a three game set from Angel Stadium in Anaheim California. Kikuchi you will look to continue not only his excellence so far this month but at home where he's had a one twenty three R.A. here at Angel Stadium. Yeah he's really good acclimated to this home mound at the big A. He has been outstanding. We've told you the stats Goldschmidt against left handed pitching just extraordinary 24 for forty five five thirty three batting average. Given out to right field that's going to dunk in for base hit. So Laird cuts it off going for two is Goldschmidt he'll make it with a leadoff double Yankees as a team batting eight sixty six as far as their O.P.S. against left handed pitching that's the best in baseball. There is one away and judge is the next batter. They're going to intentionally walk judge with first base open. Why. Because with runners in scoring position this year eighteen for forty hitting four fifty. So here's Cody Bellinger Cody hitting three sixty six against left handed pitching his ball for loading the bases for Anthony Volpe. So you intentionally walk judge to get the lefty lefty matchup and then you walk the lefty and now you have to face the righty that one is driven out to left center field and that is going to be caught on the run by Taylor tagging and scoring is Goldschmidt. That's a sack fly for Volpe and the Yankees have a lead in one nothing. Yankees have been great getting runners in from third with less than two outs and that's an infield hit and they're reloaded for D.J. LeMahieu swings at this one lifts it out the center field should be a routine play for Taylor will make the catch and the Yankees have to settle for just one run. They end up leaving the bases loaded and the numbers on Clark Smith this year is making his eighth start. You see the E.R.A. well disappointed in his last start in Colorado for two thirds through ninety seven pitches a two out double and Taylor Ward will be the next batter to swaying and a miss in the sweep for good pitch by Clark Smith Stranza runner at second and again the on base percentage against lefties goes up even more Goldschmidt coming to the plate twice reaching twice. So here is Grisham at the plate with Judge waiting on deck. There's a base hit inside third and down the left field line Goldschmidt off to the races playing it out there is Ward. He will fired in Goldschmidt stops at third and Grisham gets himself a double and will they intentionally walk Judge again. I think you probably are going to see him go down to first and that's exactly what's going to happen. So some interaction between Judge and Ron Washington. We have the best hitter in baseball. You have first base open runners in scoring position. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more. Loads him up for Bellinger who walked his own plate appearance in the first three to delivery. It's a fly ball that's lifted into left field. A lot of people are chasing but it's going to be Taylor Ward who makes the catch. So Kikuchi both innings walking a tightrope. The Yankees have left six runners on base in an inning and a third four of the first six angels have reached base safe. Now this sitting two on nobody out. We'll see if Travis Darnell can keep the line moving. Here's your two to Darnell swinging a miss fastball running away from a big strikeout for Clark Smith. That's strikeout number two one out here in the second inning. High fastball a little above the letters can't hit it can't stop swinging at it. Chris Taylor right hand hitter swing and a miss on a breaking ball. That's a third strikeout for Schmidt. Outstanding pitch. Now it's Ren Hebo's hitting out of the nine hole tonight. Well second inning and he's about to deliver his 40th pitch groundball first base side to Harper. Easy one for Goldsmith takes it to the bag and that'll do it. The angels will leave a couple runners on base. You say Kikuchi again in control issues. He's walked three traditionally tonight plus two intentional walks three balls and two strikes on Barraza swing and a miss. He came out with three sliders for the strikeout. Back for that slider. Another slider down in the zone this slider up in the zone second strike out of the night two up two down. Seen many one two three innings on this homestand from angels pitching balls two strikes swing and a miss. Here are strikeouts in the inning and for the first time tonight a clean inning for Kikuchi's the last seven in a row retired by Clark Schmitt. So Laird will be the batter Laird loops one to the right Bellinger is in out goes Gold Smith and it's Goldsmith over his shoulder dropping the ball. It doesn't happen often when you think of Paul Goldsmith he's so good. Angels have a man on here with one out now the batter is O'Hoppy. Bouncing ball here toward Colby gets the second for one LeMahieu turns it in time for the double play. Look at that one there close. I thought he was in there. He's going to stay right by the bag and they're going to challenge this and it looks like O'Hoppy will be hanging out. He did that for sure. But here's Darno with two outs and O'Hoppy at first base. Darno struck out his first time going on fly ball center field Grisham back a couple of steps to his right reaches up makes the play and that'll do it. Here's Aaron Judge getting to swing the bat for the first time tonight. Judge has been intentionally walked twice which he hasn't set up here. One ball two strikes on Aaron Judge. Pitching in this ball game on both sides. One of our record but a one point nine one E.R. Ray in his last five dealing tonight. Here's the pitch on its way. That's a swing and a miss and he got him right there. Strikeout for Kikuchi and it's another one two three inning. He's settled down retiring the last eight in a row. So two down here at the sixth inning. Here's Taylor Ward want to know on Ward who's 0 for two against Schmitt a strikeout in the ground ball a second swing on popped up this playable Goldsmith to take care of it. Fair territory just north of the bag makes the catch and that'll do it. Nice work by Clark Schmitt six innings strong work given up no runs on four hits. Here's Aaron Judge. Judge intentionally walked at the first and the second inning let off the fifth and hit a fly ball right. Washington said no I'm going to pitch on Washington as fun. He does. Here we go with Zephyr John facing judge wanted to. Brought him out. That was a fastball. Ninety nine miles per hour. Anthony Volpe he's driven in the only run with a sack fly to center field in the first inning with the bases loaded one out fly ball left field that's going to dunk in for a base hit. Volpe rounds first he's going to go to second Ward will just flip the ball into Neto. It's a one out double for Volpe first man in scoring position since the third inning for either team swing and a miss. The fastball again this time Dominguez Chase David Peter the whole at bat a little bit closer to that upper part of the strike zone to get him to chase it six strikeouts from the Angels bullpen and ten pitching staff in this game. Here is DJ LeMahieu. That's in their strike three Deppers ends up striking out the side night sitting for the Angels lefty comes down to Mark Leiter Jr. we mentioned that in all likelihood no Weaver no Williams no Lowe. That would be their third time in four days they try to stay away from that Leiter has one save this season eight saves in his career he's pitched well so Lugo is a tying run. Oh Hoppe is the winning run. Once again the Angels down to their final strike strike. They sweep the Angels in Anaheim. It's a horrible call. That's a horrible call. This one was never a strike either. That's never strike out of his hand and never strike one run in the first inning. That's all the Yankees needed. Clark Schmidt outstanding job going six shutout in the bullpen held him down.
