The Yankees (43-31) totaled only six runs during the six-game losing streak, a sudden slump that at one point included three consecutive shutouts and a 30.1-inning scoreless drought. But the Yankees struck quickly Thursday.

After winning the first three games of the series in the Bronx, the Angels lose 7-3 to get denied a historic run against the Yankees.

Across the five-game loss to the Dodgers, they repeatedly beat themselves with defensive lapses and mental errors.
