ANAHEIM, Calif. — The home runs are sexier but the biggest reason the Yankees have won five straight and seven of eight is because the starting rotation, perceived as the club’s biggest question mark at the start of spring training, has easily turned into a lifeline for an injured roster.
Luke Voit homered twice and Mike Ford provided his first major league home run Tuesday night, but Domingo German toyed with the Angels’ hitters on the way to a 7-5 victory that was witnessed by an Angel Stadium crowd of 38,016.
