The New York Yankees (50-45) suffered another devastating walk-off loss Monday night in Anaheim, this time to the Los Angeles Angels (47-48) by a score of 4-3 in 10 innings.
New York, who has dropped seven of their last nine games, is now in sole possession of last place in the American League East and has fallen 2 1/2 games behind the Houston Astros for the final wild-card spot.
The Yankees held a 3-1 lead going into the bottom of the seventh, but Michael King surrendered a game-tying two-run homer to Shohei Ohtani. Following that, New York had multiple prime scoring chances but could not capitalize, and Nick Ramirez gave up a walk-off two-out single.
Oswaldo Cabrera plated two runs with a double, and Gleyber Torres had a sacrifice fly. Oswald Peraza walked four times and added a single.
Luis Severino tossed six innings of one-run ball after giving up 16 runs over his previous two outings.
The Yankees will try to even the series on Tuesday at 9:38 p.m. with Domingo Germán on the hill.
