New York Yankees defeat Angels in 10 innings amid manager ejection

The New York Yankees secured a 6-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels in a 10-inning game, highlighted by a strong offensive performance from Cody Bellinger. Bellinger went 3-for-5 with two runs and an RBI, contributing to a five-run rally in the 10th inning.

The victory was marked by controversy when manager Aaron Boone was ejected during the 10th inning following a disputed check-swing call by first-base umpire Junior Valentine. Boone protested the ruling on a swing by Grissom, which the Yankees expected to be a strike three.

Looking ahead to their series against the San Diego Padres, the Yankees are managing roster health. Rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. is expected to return to the lineup this Friday after recovering from knee inflammation. Additionally, the team is considering a piggyback pitching strategy for Friday's game, potentially using Max Fried for a limited outing before transitioning to Will Warren as Fried continues his recovery from an elbow bone bruise.
