Aaron Laffey (1-1) worked five innings for the first victory. Casey Janssen got the final four outs for his 13th save in 14 chances.

YANKEES 5, ANGELS 3

NEW YORK (AP) _ Robinson Cano and Curtis Granderson each hit two-run homers off Jerome Williams, leading the New York Yankees over the Angels.

Freddy Garcia (4-2) and three relievers kept Mark Trumbo in the ballpark, denying him a homer in a record sixth straight game against the Yankees.

Cano’s two-out drive in the first against Williams (6-6) hit off the top of the wall in left-center and bounced into the Angels’ bullpen and made it 2-all. Cano’s 21st homer gave him a 17-game hitting streak.

Granderson connected for his 24th home run with one out in the third.

Cody Eppley, David Robertson and Rafael Soriano combined for four innings of two-hit ball. Soriano worked a perfect ninth and notch his 22nd save in 23 chances.
