Recap: LA Angels vs. NY Yankees
By Sports Network
Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Howie Kendrick fittingly scored the game- winning run in the 11th inning, racing all the way from first base after Jeff Mathis roped a line drive into the left-field gap to give the LA Angels of Anaheim a much-needed 5-4 decision over the Yankees in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series.
Kendrick went 3-for-5 with a solo homer, triple and three runs scored to cut New York's series lead to 2-1.
After Ervin Santana (1-1) hurled a perfect top of the 11th, David Robertson recorded two quick outs in the bottom half before Yankees manager Joe Girardi opted for reliever Alfredo Aceves (0-1).
Kendrick greeted Aceves with a seeing-eye single up the middle and Mathis followed by driving a high fastball to left-center that was just out of the reach of Jerry Hairston Jr., as Kendrick came in to score without a play at the plate to end the four-hour, 21-minute affair.
Looking to tie the series in Game 4 on Tuesday, the Angels will send Scott Kazmir to the hill against fellow lefty CC Sabathia, who will throw on three days' rest after hurling eight innings of one-run ball in the series opener.
