Angels shock Yankees again

Mike Napoli hit a go-ahead two-run double off reliever David Robertson during a seven-run fifth inning and added a solo homer in the seventh, leading the Angels to a 14-8 victory yesterday in Anaheim after the Yankees tied a season high with five home runs, including two each from Alex Rodriguez and Eric Hinske.

The Angels have 24 runs in their first two games since outfielders Vladimir Guerrero and Torii Hunter went on the disabled list.

Los Angeles leads the majors with 26 comeback wins. Brandon Wood, a perennial prospect recalled from Triple A Salt Lake Friday, hit a two-run homer during the fifth-inning rally and Howie Kendrick capped it with a two-run single.

“The third, fourth and fifth innings is where we do our damage - the second and third time through the lineup, when these guys can get a feel for the starting pitcher,’’ starter Jered Weaver said. “People know they need to step up with our three leading hitters out, and they definitely have.’’

For the seventh time in the Angels’ last eight games, they fell behind by at least four runs. And for the fourth time, they won - including Friday night, when they overcame a 5-1 deficit against Joba Chamberlain. It’s the first time the Angels have won four games in this fashion on one homestand in the franchise’s 49-year history.
