Game 153 - Yanks Win Series in Anaheim

AJ Burnett outdueled Scott Kazmir, as the Yanks held on for a 3-2 victory against the Angels and took 2 of 3 in the series. The Yanks jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the 4th on a 2-run single from Robinson Cano and scored on a Melky Cabrera double. Burnett pitched brilliantly, albeit for only 5.2 innings, as he struck out 11 Angels.

5 Yankee relievers held the Angels scoreless for the final 3.1 innings, including a scoreless inning from Ian Kennedy. It was his first MLB appearance in over a year and perhaps a miraculous appearance, considering he underwent surgery earlier this season to remove an aneurysm in his throwing arm. Mariano Rivera wrapped up the series win with his 42nd save of the season.

Yankees Record: 97-56
