“‘I believe in what I am seeing right now, so I believe we can keep doing that”, Carlos Beltran said.

New York Yankees’ Chris Parmelee watches his home run during the sixth inning of a baseball game against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday, June 8, 2016, in New York. “He’s a guy that has a lot of talent”. Two-out singles by Jacoby Ellsbury and Brett Gardner prompted the Angels to go to their bullpen, and Beltran struck for his 14th homer.
Even though he had a less than stellar outing in his last go-around Eovaldi is 6-0 with a 3.35 ERA in his last eight starts. Starlin Castro has faded a bit as of late, but still has 57 hits with 19 runs and 25 RBI.
The one thing keeping Beltran from retiring is his desire to win a World Series Championship, which he would like to experience before hanging up his cleats for good.
With the Yankees scheduled to face right-handed starters in each of their next four games, Parmelee figures to get that chance. “We’re getting some leads and we’re not closing some of these games out”. The Blue Jays are rich in talent, but just haven’t been able to get quality production from their rotation on a consistent basis.
“He was only going to get one out on the ball”, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. “When he needed to, he turned it up”. “I mean, there’s power in this offense”. “When Michael is on, he can be really dominant. Our hope is three weeks, but we really won’t know until we get into this; right now, we’re at let’s get him treatment, try to get him healthy and get him on the field”.
Mahle, who pitches over the top and from the side, was effective for his first couple months in the big leagues, perhaps because of his unusual style.
Two pitches later, Castro connected for the Yankees’ fourth set of consecutive home runs this season. I was never anxious.
With two outs, Albert Pujols hit a soft single to center to drive Escobar in for a 1-0 Angels.
The inability to be phased after Calhoun’s dinger helped Pineda retire the next seven Angels batters he faced to hold on to the lead.
Gregorio Petit, Jefry Marte and Mike Trout all homered for the Angels on a rough night for the pitchers.
Beltran hit a two-run shot in the first for his 1,000th career extra-base hit.
Later in the inning, Alex Rodriguez continues to swing a better bat and hit an RBI single to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead. “And thank God, I started the season being consistent, and I’m just happy that I’m just doing my job and helping the team as much as I can”.
Jacoby Ellsbury hit a towering shot in the 3rd inning witch is the highest recorded home run in the Major League Baseball this season as it reached a peak of 151 feet.
Aaron Hicks doubled in the second and scored on Rob Refsnyder’s sacrifice fly. Weaver went 6.0 innings, surrendering two runs, striking out five and walking one in a 9-2 win over the Pirates in his last outing.
While having Beltran return for another two years sounds tempting, the Yankees don’t appear to be a fit.
“It was tough those first two innings”, Huff said. “And the fact that I’m getting to those milestones, it’s a great accomplishment”. It was, ironically, the third time the Angels have lost in the four games of Shoemaker’s remarkable renaissance since his terrible April. “If he executes, he’s going to be able to get people out”. The slumping switch-hitter said he doesn’t want to have surgery, which would end his season.
