Yankees defeat the Angels as ownership sale headlines game in Anaheim

The New York Yankees defeated the Los Angeles Angels 7-3 on Tuesday at Angel Stadium. The contest followed the announcement that Angels owner Arte Moreno is selling a majority stake in the franchise to Stan Kroenke. New York established an early lead after Spencer Jones and Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit home runs against Angels starter Grayson Rodriguez in the first inning. Rodriguez settled in for the remainder of his six-inning outing, allowing four earned runs while striking out seven. On the offensive side, Wade Meckler continued a productive stretch by recording three hits in four at-bats, marking his third consecutive multi-hit game since returning from the concussion injured list. The Angels rotation recently led the league in ERA during the month of August.
