Angels manage to slow down Yankees

ANAHEIM If it wasn't just what the doctor ordered for the Angels, it was certainly a taste of their own medicine for the New York Yankees.

For the first time this season, the Yankees were in the position of trying to overcome a poor outing by one of their starting pitchers. They couldn't, and the Angels avoided a sweep with a 6-2 victory Thursday at Edison Field.

Yankees left-hander Andy Pettitte gave up a solo home run in the first inning to Tim Salmon, a three-run shot to Bengie Molina in the second and six runs in five innings.
