Yanks Give Another Game to the Angels

Dan Giese left with a 3-1 lead after six and after having pitched brilliantly. Jose Veras gave up two homers for the tie in the 7th, then Edwar Ramirez came in and gave up 4 runs, including a first pitch of the appearance homer to Vlad Guerrero before he was lifted with no outs in the 8th. The Yanks offense turned down their chances to break the game open, and Joe Girardi doesn't seem to favor switching relievers before the damage is done. One of the worst Yankee losses of the year.
