Game Preview

On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Angels managed to keep Aaron Judge in check, while the New York Yankees had difficulty handling Zach Neto. As the teams prepare for the series finale in New York on Thursday, the Angels aim to navigate more of Judge’s at-bats, and the Yankees seek solutions for retiring Neto.

In the doubleheader, Judge made an impact with an RBI single and four times on base, contributing to the Yankees’ 5-2 win in the first game. He also received an intentional walk, marking five such walks in his last few games. "Having Judge on base is always a positive," said Yankees catcher Austin Wells. "It’s smart to walk him and focus on the rest of the lineup."

In the second game, the Angels turned to Neto, who delivered a standout performance with six RBIs, including a grand slam and a two-run double, leading to an 8-2 victory. Angels manager Ron Washington praised Neto’s historic feat, making him the first opposing shortstop to achieve six RBIs at any version of Yankee Stadium. Neto reflected on the game, calling it a memorable honor.

Neto has been hot since being moved to the second spot in the lineup, hitting .342 with five home runs and 20 RBIs over his last 24 games. On Thursday, he will face Yankees pitcher Nestor Cortes (5-9, 4.16 ERA), who is looking to secure back-to-back wins for the first time since May. Cortes has a 3.24 ERA in seven career outings against the Angels, including a game on May 28 where he allowed two runs in a Yankees loss.

Judge, who has reached base multiple times in 10 of his last 11 games and is hitting .431 over his past 20 games, will go up against Angels’ Tyler Anderson (8-10, 3.05 ERA). Anderson has struggled recently, with a 4.18 ERA in his last four starts since July 6.
